I've got the Burris Ballistic Plex and I'm currently loading up 165gr Ballistic Tips shooting it out of a .30-06. It's a Fullfield II 4.5-14x42. I don't have a chronographed speed yet, as I'm new to reloading and am currently just making sure I don't permanently alter my face and can come up with a good recipe my rifle likes.

I looked on their website and couldn't find this measurement, just the thickness of the reticle lines. My plan was too draw a ruler on my target post, put it out at 100 yards and just see where the lines fall. Not extremely high tech, but it should work. I just send them an e-mail asking if they had it, hopefully I'll hear back.

Any mathematicians or ballisticians out there that can help?
