I had a Kahles ZF84-10V2 the one with the "butterfly reticle" 100-900 yards {or meters.} It too was calibrated for 7.62 Nato {308} but I had it on a 30-06 Ackley Improved. As long as I matched the trajectory it would lob em right in there where it was supposed to. I looked in the back of a Sierra reloading manual and found the bullet weight and trajectory that matched as close as possible and then load it to that velocity. In my case a 220 grn bullet loaded at 2550 fps did the trick. Only catch for you is for hunting you will have to slow the 7mm down some. It has one of the best ballistic coefficients out there and shoots among the flatest. You will have to lose some of that to match the scope. Good luck.
