since you have a nikon scope the Nikon App is still active. This has all their scopes loaded into it with the BDC reticals. You just pick your ammo from the list or put you load into it. The app...

I think you need a 358 Win or 35 Whelen, That will keep you busy for a while, then make up some pistol bullet loads (150-180 gr XTP's) for goats @ sub 2000 fps, Some accubonds, 225/250 gr for cattle...
