Which magnum rifle

What about the forceplex reticle? I assume y’all are saying you don’t like the MOAR reticleView attachment 984875

What would his plan be for wind with this reticle?

We don’t have alotta wind here. Flat land. But I’d guess he would just have to estimate a hold over for wind. The dots are only accurate one a certain power for SFP scopes anyway, correct? What do people normally do for wind with SFP scopes?

You must have forgotten your teenage years

I doubt there are many people here who didnt hunt with some flavor of bigass rifle at some point in their lives. Hell I've been educated and Im still doing it. At 15 years old if my old man would have tried to talk me into a smaller rifle id have considered it an insult to my "manhood" and gotten the biggest loudest hardest kicking thing on the rack.

Facts. We duck hunted a lot when I was a kid. I went from a 410 straight to an Ithaca 12 gauge feather lite. It stomped my ass but at that age I wouldn’t have had it any other way

It's not a big problem with scopes that top out at a relatively low power; just shoot at max magnification. Or if your scope tops out at 16x you can shoot at 8x and each wind hashmark will be double the stated value.

You can absolutely use the forceplex reticle for wind holds - check the reticle subtension dimensions and the best you'll be able to do is to use the edges of the thin center section as a wind hold, and maybe do a half-distance. In the case of the SHV forceplex reticle that would leave you with the edge of the thin part as a 2.5moa wind hold (based on NF's published subtensions) and you could split that for a ~1.25moa wind hold.

Will it be precise? No. Would I rather have that, than have the MOAR reticle that you can't see at all in the dark without turning on the illumination? Yes.

Like you, I don't shoot in a lot of wind. I do, however, shoot a lot of stuff near dark when I need to see my reticle, and I don't like trusting electronic illumination.

I wouldn’t over complicate this… scopes are personal. Depends on your style whats good. I used second focal NF nxs’s for load of years dont recall missing ever from wind calls. Knowing your system from putting reps in makes it natural like anything. I will say i definitely like the nx8’s better for parallax for my eyes and ffp I also like doing load dev and zeros at 20x so i can shoot small. 15 x the center cross covers a 3/8” dot i shoot at for all work at 100 and it fools your effort imop to see your potential… With saying that i usually hunt with my field of view according to distance to see a ways around animal to watch there path after if any… be careful if you buy the 2.5 nx8 for its limited mounting position for and aft, good luck.
