Unless Zeiss has changed something the rapid Z is a mil based reticle and it makes no difference what caliber you use. You just need to get you dope on mils and make a chart and instead of dialing mils you hold. I'm not a fan of BDC reticles regardless the type, they simply aren't as accurate as dialing your elevation and holding your wind. For the price of a zeiss with rapid Z you can buy a very nice mil/mil scope.
The only advantages 308 has to 7mmRM is ammo availability, recoil, barrel life, and brass life. If you load and barrel life isn't a big concern it's a great LR round. One issue you're going to run into with the SPS is the pencil barrel, it's not as accurate as a heavy barrel and is going to heat up quick, especially with a magnum. </div></div>
Ah ok. Well I did want to switch over to the 308 because I can get a heavy barrel with the threaded barrel so that I will be able to put on a suppressor in the future and run sub sonic rounds. I understand the BCD reticles are not 100% accurate but they put you in the ballpark and fast. I eventually want to do some LR competitions and I believe that the Rapid Z would help.
