https://www.americanhunter.org/artic...t-blank-range/ All my rifles will hit a 10" kill zone out to about 350yds without worrying one bit about scope adjustment or hold over. Also, you can get the dimensions of the duplex reticle from whatever manufacturer you choose. They will give the dimensions from the fine cross hair down to where it changes to the thick part. That is useful information. This allows most of my rifles to have an additional aiming point that gets me out to 450ish yards.. (depends on cartridge).
This right here. My .270 shoots flat enough that, using the standard duplex recticle and proper zero, I can get it into the deer's vitals out to 320 yards without any kind of adjustment or hold over. And that is a lot farther than any shot I will encounter at my current hunting grounds.
