Zeroing a leupold B&C reticle

The Duplex is simple if you are satisfied with MPBR at whatever your chosen radius is... but for quick field shooting, the B&C really works and simplifies what can be a busy, adrenaline charged moment in time... think about the time and investment that was required to get you to that moment... $100 looks like a pretty good investment, even if it comes into play in one out of ten of those scenarios.
I guess I look at it from the perspective that on a long shot I'm going to have to figure out the range with either option. With the CDS, I just click-click-click and hold dead on rather than having to worry about using the wrong hold over. In my (much less educated than yours) opinion it's kind of a 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other proposition.
That being said, I'll still probably end up with a B&C reticle or 2 eventually anyways. There are too many people who's opinions I hold in high regard that have a lot of good things to say about them.
Once you have it basically sighted in, a little judicious tweaking may be in order. Say you’re GTG with a 200-500 yard setup but you're finding that you are 1/2 or 3/4 MOA low at 500. Its better to take those clicks at 500, because its starting to get sloppy at 500, being 1 - 1 1/2” high at 200 means little. What little it does mean is in your favour from a MPBR point of view.

I sight mine in at 100 or 200 yards depending on the cartridge, slower ones get 100 yards. Knowing my drops in moa I mark a target at those spacings place it at 100 yards then turn the zoom up/down to line up the reticle with the marks on the target. I put a small dot of whiteout on the power ring so I can set it back in the field quickly. Works very well.

I have one B&C in gunmetal grey that I'm sure needs work. I have zero experience with this reticle system. Trying to zero the scope at 100 yds, at 9x, I get a hazy, double image. I doubt this is intended. Should Korth have a look?
