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.
I'd have to check with Vanessa but on her 30-06 shooting 165 grain GMX, the optimum power is around 9.2 on a 3.5-10x scope with RZ600 reticle.
