This should be useful
That is an issue with setup, not an issue with the BDC.first, i've never seen a bdc that actually aligns with the rifle/ammo trajectory. at least in my experience, always seems to be off a little if not a lot.
the whole purpose of a bdc, at least in my eyes. is to NOT have to dial. target is at or near 300, boom hold at the 3rd line and blast it.That is an issue with setup, not an issue with the BDC.

but the bdc becomes especially complex when you leave your home conditions and are at 10k feet at 22 degrees f. at home the 5th line was 465 yards but where the heck do i hold now with the elk at 525 yards? of course you can do some math but it won't be nearly as precise as plugging the data into your phone's ballistic app and knowing that it's (for example) 20moa or 7 mils or whatever and simply holding or dialing that.
bottom line is each of us should use whatever works best for each of us. for me, a bdc scope is pretty much the worst solution if you're leaving your home conditions.
the only reason i'd use a bdc was to NOT dial, but for quick and easy holdovers. if one is dialing it doesn't matter what the reticle is.Did you watch the first video?
He is dialing with a custom made turret for the meters to target.
not holding reticle subtensions.

I see where the confusion is now. I didn't catch that you refered to reticles and you didn't catch I was referring to the turret (label).the whole purpose of a bdc, at least in my eyes. is to NOT have to dial.
I would agree. Also a truly precise BDC reticle can be difficult to manufacture if one want "economical industry". I.e. difficult to produce in a manner rational enough to make money.bottom line is each of us should use whatever works best for each of us. for me, a bdc scope is pretty much the worst solution if you're leaving your home conditions.
After that I think a guy should slow down and actually get a true firing solution with live atmospherics for a hunting situation.
He is getting true atmosphere.
Are people not watching the videos? Or not understanding what is happening?
the thread title is BDC but we're talking about turrets/dialing and not reticles? ok, nevermind, per emily latella...I think there is a major disconnect in this thread between what the OP is calling BDC and what most of us are familiar with as a BDC reticle.
