In the box with the Burris FFII scope, they include some very useful data on the Ballistic Plex lines. I don't have it in front of me, but they included BDC data for many calibers and for several bullets and velocities in those calibers. You can also google up the data. Personally, I found the Burris data much easier to quickly understand than what came with my Leupold VX-2 in 6-18 to explain their BDC lines.

So I just now went to Google and had a look at the data. They show the 30-06 and the 165 gr bullet, with a mv of 2800. Sighted in at 100, the Plex lines show a drop at 200 of 3.1 inches versus anticipated actual drop of 4 inches. For 300, the plex line allows for a 13.5 inch drop, vs anticipate actual of 14. For 400 yards, it's 30.1 for plex vs an actual of 32 inches drop. For 500, plex allows fir 55.3 inches drop, where actual should be more line 59. Note that this is Burris data and I have not checked anticipated actual drops in my ballistic program on the iPad.

I've got a couple of the 4.5-14 Burris FFII scopes and I like them and have used those lines quite a few times on long coyote and pig shots (about 400 yards). I have to admit that it took some effort for me to trust the lines, since I hadn't actually tested the bullet drop out to 300 or 400 yards. But I just decided that I'd eventually have to do it, and here was a good opportunity. I cranked the magnification to 14 and squeezed the trigger and the coyote (and later the pig) dropped like a rock when the 120 gr from my 260 hit him.
