    Do you have a specific point to shoot from, or do you move around?

    BDC EXCEL CALC

    I made a BDC subtention Calc in Excel. Just input your magnification and it calculates the new subtention at that magnification. Size your target with the reticle and input in 'inches' and it will calculate yardage. Easy-peasy.

    Pro tip: I run Excel on my smartphone and perform calculations in the field!
    Let me know how it works for you.

    Do you have another way to download it besides signing up for that site?

    Sorry, no. Didn't realize you had to sign up for it. The forum only allows uploads of 97k for zip files, which is pretty miniscule.

    Pm me with an email address and I will send it to you directly, if you wish?

    Updated Calc

    BDC SUBTENTION CALC II.zip

    Here is an updated version with upper and lower subtentions added, a better reticle diagram, and sheet is now protected so you can't inadvertently edit cells you're not supposed to. It's now small enough to attach here directly. Enjoy.

    Now with even more subtentions added! (Spaces between circles) Re d/l the above file (BDC Calc II.zip) for the latest version.

    To the OP. Clearly, there are many, many ways you can range with the BDC reticle!
