I don’t think that’s quite it. THLR uses a yardage based turret/tape, and no one is getting their panties wadded up because the BDC turret isn’t the issue.
The issue, is this-
This (no offense to rratzlaff), is what people say when they believe that there is a shortcut to being able to shoot at medium to long range. The problem, is that there is bo shortcut about shooting competently at medium and long range. It’s only “range, dial, shoot” after you have gained all the knowledge and then put all that into consistent, repetitive practice. And, the moment you put all the work into getting to the point where a BDC turret is a viable thing- you realize you don’t need, nor want a BDC turret.
BDC turrets are for people that do not want to learn how to shoot and account for the variables in the field. So it’s literally the worst choice for someone that wants a short cut. The OP wants a BDC turret to shoot past point blank range, but doesn’t know what whether MV or retained velocity is supposed to be used. That’s why most have a problem with BDC turrets. The OP needs to be mentored to step back and start at square one, and that isn’t BDC turrets.
