They tell you to leave a pimple alone. They tell you that, and it really is the best tactic, but only the strongest of us can do it. The rest of us poke, and prod, and, without fail, squeeze. That works out well enough most of the time, luckily, but it's not the best method of skin care.

That's the Hamr reticle, in my head. A mental boil I can't leave in peace. I want it fixed.

And I got some good stuff done, this time around. I optimized it for 19x mag., 'cause nobody does 19x mag.! Ged-ah-dah-heah!

But at 19x, 2.5 mrads is 34.871148px, so...

BDC POA and POI optimized for velocity 860, drag 0.397.

This is the best version of this reticle I've gotten done so far.

Edit: Looking at the first post I made about the Hamr, I see the horizon is supposed to be in 10 moa subtensions, and honestly, if I was working with slower ammo, I'd be a stickler about that, but this weapon, with this ammo velocity, 7.5 mrads (25.783099 moa) is such a good lead (foreaim [is apparently not a word], not plumbum [is actually a word]) for a perpendicularly running target.

And a green reticle works best in NVGs on a scoped (not just sighted) weapon.
