Thanks, sadly is not 1:1 the same reticle according to GRSC. The Norden is the T4-62, the new one is the T1 (based off .308 drop allegedly but projectile and velocity not stated anywhere.)

Oh my bad. I thought it was the same reticle. My apologies

The dots across the top are 1 mil, with hash lines every 5 mils. The vertical dots are the same on both sides, so you can see where a drop chart will register if you zero the center dot at 100yds. The cool thing about the GRSC reticles is that no matter what range, the hashes in the stadia, the spaces between them, and the circles on the ends are 10" no matter what, so you can intuitively be on-target with this scope very quickly.

Notice that 1000yds is about 11.4 Mils:

Thanks for the tip on extrapolating things based on the side mil-dots. Hoping I can get GRSC to update their documents.

I have a NF NX8 on a 6.5 Grendel pistol and love it. But, I believe any LPVO will work just fine for you. Make sure you get a reticle that you like

I'm building a 12.5" Grendel Pistol.

I have a Nightforce NX8 and think it will be okay for my pistol build. But what I really want and think will be just about PERFECT, is the Vortex Razor Gen 3 1-10x.

Is is just me, or did they go crazy with the numbers on that reticle?

Its a lot of numbers cluttering up stuff, just in case, you can't do math and figure out on the X or Y axis what multiples of 4 are.
