I don't know if this is the right forum but it seemed closest.
I'm looking at a Nikon Inline XR for my CVA Optima V2. The Nikon has a Bullet Drop Compensating reticule manufactured for .50 caliber muzzleloaders using a 150-grain Pyrodex charge (pellets or powder) and a 250-grain bullet. QUESTION: I want to use a 350 grain Hornady FPB bullet backed by TWO Triple Seven pellets, so apart from the hundred yard zero, will the dot reticules below the crosshairs be useless?
My thinking is that I can zero any rifle, slug, or muzzleloading scope for 100 yards with this load, but the manufacturer's calculations on the drop dots might be way off with this 350gr/100gr loading. Any recommendations in the same $200 price range?
