I can not tell what the difference is.  Wanting to set up a hunting 6.5 Grendel.

Thank you,

The first has a reticle subtended for the ballistic drop of a generic 5.56 or .308 round.

The second has a reticle subtended in MILs

ETA: for your purpose, the second would be better, imho

Both are SFP, so you are going to have to play with the holdover marks at different magnifications
I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

Ok - I see that difference now...thank you for point that out to me...

I always thought that the drop on 308 and the 6.5 Grendel were pretty evenly matched.

I would think that if you are going to stretch it out - you would zoom it up to full six power....

or just do the typical hunt on four power....

Thank you,

Our recommendation is the NOVA MIL reticle. Yes 6.5Gr does align closely with .308 in terms of drop, but only out to about 500 meters. With a MIL based BDC, you'll be getting more out of your reticle
