Strelok + BDC = :)

I started searching for a new scope for a new 17hmr rifle I just bought. While there are many "17hmr" rated scopes some are BDC reticle and some with BDC turrets. I am more of a reticle/hold over type guy, its easy to remember and a little faster IMHO. I decided to start by punching nubers in my Strelok app, what I found was that of the reticles available the "17hmr"( and some other BDC) reticles dont quite pan out. What I did find is that there was one that made target transition pretty dang easy. The Bushnell DOA 600 reticle works out really well with both 17hmr and 22 cal. Im now looking at a 3-9 for my .22 and a 4-12 for my .17. BDC reticles are only true at a certain zoom, in both of these cases that is at max.

Here are the two calcs punched in.

.22 CCI Stinger zeroed at 50yds
