New Reticle in Credo

Has anyone gotten their hands on this version of the Credo yet? Just curious about the reticle in comparison with the other version. I am building a new hunting rifle and trying to decide on which optic to run/get for it. I have a Tenmile 3-18 and a Maven RS.1 currently, but am considering a SFP option for hunting. If I dial I will most likely be on top end magnification anyway.
 
Figures because I just bought one of these before Christmas (my second actually), and would have preferred this new reticle option.
 
That reticle isn't tracking drops well with any of my loads in MOA zeroed at 100 yards (260, 6.5 PRC, 30-06). Maybe I'm being dumb.

What calibers and zeroes do you see the reticle drops lining up? I'm sure Trijicon had something fairly specific in mind? Otherwise it looks nice and clean.
 
Why does it need to track? Dial it as designed and use the hash marks for windage and or a quick elev adjustment.
I'm a dialer and hold for wind guy. Just curious about the reticle because it does look nice. I'm actually planning to buy an SFP Triji soon in Mils.

Back when I used BDC reticles more often, they were usually pretty close to even numbers for common ballistics (.308 Win, 200, 300, 400, etc.).

Playing around with my Shooter app, the reticle tracks pretty well for quick hold overs using a 200 yard zero (checking 2800 fps 140 A-max).

The hunter holds reticle from Trijicon is based on a 200 yd zero and the trajectory curve of most common hunting calibers. It's never going to be an exact extrapolation for EVERY cartridge and EVERY load. Same with every reticle that any kind of holdovers in it, whether FFP or SFP. The difference of a mark being 325 yds, for example, instead of 300 yards, on big game, isn't going to make that much of a difference in the 10" vital zone at said ranges. The shooter is the biggest variable and most people can't hold the difference from field positions.
 
Hunter holds reticle is so 2010. 😆 I like the reticle, just would prefer to drops to be in a standardized MOA hold. The illuminated center dot is what I am after in FFP.
