I can live with that.
I don't know what loads you are building......but what bullet wt are you using? If you aren't already, 30.06 likes a 165 gr bullet. If you're using 180 now.....changing that out for 165 grs will bring up your optimum

and....that optimum mag thing is only if you choose to use it. Live targets are rearely standing at those precise distances lol. Print a table or reticle reticle using max power on your scope, laminate it and slap it on your rifle but with an elastic.

My 25.06......with factory Fusion ammo, 120 grs, my "optimum magnification" is 8.7 (on a rapidZ600 3-9X Zeiss).

The Strelok app prints great reticles. You can email them to yourself and print them off as you like.
