Here is a tutorial of how to get your reticle details for your load.

Click on this button:
 

Select the yellow highlighted options from the drop down menus. Your sight height is dependent on the firearm. If you are mounting your optic to an AR platform you sight height will be roughly 2.3"over bore dependent on the mount. If you are mounting it to a bolt action you will be roughly 1.6" over bore dependent on the rings. To measure this properly, wait until you have the scope mounted to the rifle. Measure from the center of your barrel to the center of your scope giving you the "Sight Height Over Bore."  (I recommend 100 yard zero):

 

Click on the Step 2 button:
 

Note:

If you are a hand loader, or know all of your ballistics information check  "Manual Input" and type in all of your values manually. If this does not apply to you continue to Step 2, FACTORY AMMUNITION.

Select "Factory Ammunition". Click on the drop down menus to select the ammunition "Manufacturer", the Cartridge, and the specific bullet. (Weight, Style, Type, Description). 

Note:

If you are a hand loader, or know all of your ballistics information check  "Manual Input" and type in all of your values manually. If this does not apply to you continue to Step 2, FACTORY AMMUNITION.

Click on step 3:

 

Use "Enter Conditions Manually," input the elevation of where you will be hunting/shooting, you can also use our "GET ELEVATION" button, after typing in your city/ state information in the same format as displayed. Enter an average "Temperature" of where you will be hunting/shooting. Input "Humidity, and "Barometric Pressure," these should be set to the averages of the time of year you will be hunting/shooting in this location. Leave the "Wind Speed" and "Wind Direction" set at 10 MPH and 90 (Degrees).

 

Click on the Step 4 button:

 

This step will display how your specific load works with your exact cartridge. If your scope is a second focal plane you can adjust your magnification range to see how the load works on each power by clicking the + or - buttons. You can adjust the zero by performing the same steps.
