When they first came out with the BDC reticle scope a friend sent me one to try out on my KS hunt. This was so long ago I don't even recall, needless to say, I had success. Two doe came out at 50 yards, I shot one and the other took off into a cut field and stopped right next to a cedar bush I had ranged at 499 yards. I figured since I had one down I may as well try to fill my second doe tag. I put the 3rd circle on her shoulder, pulled the trigger on my .300 Win and she fell over. I was sold! I never did send that scope back either. Once Nikon came out with their ballistic program accuracy went up considerably. Hitting soda cans at 600 yards was not a tough thing to do and blowing up 4-inch jars of tannerite an easy feat. You can use Spot On with a Mrad/MOA or BDC scope, just enter the data and you are good to go.I do agree that using a BDC scope is a heck of a lot easier when you have an accurate rangefinder. When you know the distance it is quick and easy to get on target and make an accurate shot. It's been a long time since my son and I have taken a deer inside of 200 yards when hunting TX, OK or KS.</blockquote>
