bsa sweet .223?

I havn't got any of the sweet series of scopes, but I've been using one of the illumanated 5 by 24's with the mill dot reticle on my Rem 700 VLS for the last couple of years and it is a darned nice scope for a hundred buck bill.

Ya Bob I have used a BSA 4x16x40 contender on my .308 for 3 years now and it has killed 2 yotes, 3 elk and 2 deer they are pretty good. I just wonder how accurate they arewhen you are dialing up the right yardages.
 
The sweet 17 was dead on. It was fantastic.Turn it to 50 it was dead on at 50. turn it to 100 it was dead on at 100 turn it to 150 it was dead on at 150.
 
Good thing to know. I guess now the only question that I have is how far can the .223 be dialed out to 400-500 yards?

BSA Sweet 223 Riflescope

Taking the technology applied in sniper trajectory scopes, the BSA Sweet 223 takes the guesswork out of varmint hunting with your .223. The three included elevation drums are precisely calculated to compensate for the elliptical drop of 50-, 55- or 62-grain bullets. The trajectory is compensated to any given distance between 100 and 400 yards by turning the elevation drum to the desired distance

I generally am not a big fan of BDC's at all. They are set for a given bullet at a given speed. If you know your data for your load, there are no issues with getting a range and dialing come-ups.
 
br,
Ya know you are right on there. The scope maybe set up for a certain grain of bullet but how do they compensate for speed and the million different loads possible?
