Do any of you do this with a duplex reticle? And if you do, can one get overlap between the MPBR of the crosshairs and the MPBR off the top of the bottom post? Is your distance in the small wires close enough or your rifle shooting fast enough for overlap?

Last year I bought a 2003 Rem700 at an estate sale. First bedding job. First free floating job. New trigger and butt pad. I have always hunted woods until this year when...
Many thanks for the replies/information. I know so little; but lurking here for a few months has definitely increased my learning curve. Taking the 175g Partitions .015 off the land measure I got this:
