anyone have lupy ballistically matched reticle?

just wondering if anyone has a leupold ballistically matched reticle from the leupold custom shop.

they need the bc, sd, and muzzle velocity and they send you a matched reticle with holds out to 100 200 300 400 500 yards.

i have read online that it is extremely accurate, by several users. just wondering others experience with it.
thanks

Not yet.
I have a friend with one on a .22-284 that`s marked out to 1,000 yrds. and he loves it. His is on an 6.5 x 24 but he has to leave it on 24 for it to work. He pushes an 80 gn. bullet at 3,500 fps. With a range finder and that`s left is to guess the drift.

the reticles or the BDC's work well out to around 700 yds, then too many things come into play that the scope can't control, barometric pressure, altitude, angle cozine etc, to 500 is relatively easy, I prefer an uncluttered reticle and dial it in.

premier reticle will do the same with just dots out to 500yds.

they need chrongraphed load and bullet used..

id sujest a graphed load rather than teln them whatr the reloading book says.

i also consider in some cases that a only two dots are need. zero at 200, a 300yd dot then 400. and in a few cases maybe a 300yd zero with two dots depdning on how flat the caliber shoots. this would keep things un clutterd.
