Yep, Primary Arms are silly about this. I had to do the same thing with my 6.5 Creedmoor running their Apollo 3-18x 6.5CM scope. They give calibrated drops out to 1000 yards, which is nice, but that's going to be particular to one ammo at one atmospheric condition and one muzzle velocity. Here is the scope on the 1400 yard gong-range on top of a PA 6.5 CM 20" (kind of a budget AR10 package, that's not so bad).

Here is the reticle with the drops, where they go from 300 yards out to 1000 yards (3-0), in the bottom vertical, using Hornady 143gr ELD 6.5CM (I think). And with that ammo, it's not bad, you can point and ping pretty close to on, out to 1000 yards:

But they won't tell you the distances between the drops, you're on your own if you use different ammo. So to figure them out, I pulled the above image, dropped it into RangeBuddy App,

and calibrated the distance using the upper vertical section, which is MIL's, and then measured the drops distances. So, for the Apollo 3-18 6.5 Scope:

yards Mils ( +/- 0.1 ; on Apollo 3-18 6.5CM)
300 = 1.0 Mil
350 = 1.4
400 = 1.8
450 = 2.2
500 = 2.7
550 = 3.1
600 = 3.6
650 = 4.1
700 = 4.7
750 = 5.2
800 = 5.8
850 = 6.4
900 = 7.0
950 = 7.7
1000 = 8.4
