In the first focal plane the subtensions hold true at every magnification, so a hold is a hold wherever the zoom ring sits.

Schmidt & Bender P4FL
Drawn to scale from Schmidt & Bender’s own specification sheet, and checked mark by mark by a person. This is the same geometry Harson Ballistics draws your holdover on.
Framed to about 12 MRAD — the part of the reticle you aim with. This reticle carries marks out to 38.97 MRAD; the rest sits beyond the edge of this drawing.
Drawn from Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co. KG’s published specification.

Subtensions
First focal plane, mrad, from S&B's dimensioned reticle data sheet for this scope (page 2 drawing + lettered coverage table, page 3 views of the field at lowest and highest magnification). Illuminated centre cross, then clear glass to the 1 mrad mark. Windage and upper stadia: 0.4 mrad marks every mrad, 0.2 mrad marks at the half, and from 4.2 to 4.8 a 0.2 mrad fine scale of one-sided 0.1 mrad marks above the horizontal line and right of the vertical. Heavy 0.4 mrad posts with tips 10 mrad apart. Lower stadia marked every 0.5 mrad. Ranging: a 16 mrad bar and four 3 mrad bars above it bracketing a 50 cm target at 500/400/300/200 m. Sheet letters (cm/100 m / 10 = mrad): A 10 post opening, B 1 and C 0.5 mark spacing, D 0.4 full mark, E 0.2 half mark, F 0.1 fine mark, G 0.035 line, H 1.715 red cross, K 0.07 red line, L 16 long bar, M 3 short bars, N/P/R/S ranging. On this generation the long bar is at -5 and there are no wide marks. Post thickness 0.4, bar thickness 0.1 and the long bar's position (-5.00) are not lettered; measured from the vector drawing. Posts and the lower stadia run to the edge of the field in the lowest-magnification view (38.97 mrad).
How this one was checked
Verified 8 Oct 2026 against Schmidt-Bender-Datasheet-P4FL-FFP-5-20x50-PMII-Ultra-Short.pdf (P4FL.zip), pages 2 and 3. Vector drawing, measured on FILL geometry only (outline strokes dropped, dimension arrows excluded). The record was rasterised the way the app draws it and XOR-compared with page 2 and with page 3's lowest-magnification view; page 2 centre (316.54, 389.95) from the posts and the red cross, scale from A: top post tip 113.46 pt above centre = 5 mrad -> 22.693 pt/mrad; H red cross 1.717 x 0.070 (K), G line 0.035, D/E/F 0.40/0.20/0.10 marks, B/C spacing 1/0.5, L 16.00 at -5.00 (position measured), M 3.00, ranging bars 1.00/1.25/1.67/2.50 above it. XOR at 600 dpi (189 px/mrad): no disagreement inside the page-2 frame. Page 3 (scale refined on L to 3.630 pt/mrad): no disagreement; no wide marks anywhere, last full mark -38, last half -38.5, field edge 38.97. Fine scale one-sided; no numerals.
