That's why I asked him. If your scenario is the case, why not just adjust the magnification or change zero to match the load?

I would not resort to that method myself, but if the trajectory of the load is already too flat for the reticle, you can't calibrate by adjusting the magnification. You can play with the zero range to try and adapt the reticle to make it work somewhat better, but to me, that defeats the purpose of the Rapid Z reticles. The whole advantage of having hashmarks labelled with ranges, as in 300 yards or 400 yards, is lessened when the main reticle represents 180 yards. and the 500 reticle represents say 525 yards. As distance increases, it gets progressively worse, so the 700 yard hash mark could easily represent 750 yards. To me, when that happens, the Rapid Z system no longer offers any advantage.
