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

Vortex EBR-8 BDC MRAD
Drawn to scale from Vortex’s own specification sheet, and checked mark by mark by a person. This is the same geometry Harson Ballistics draws your holdover on.
Drawn from Vortex Optics’s published specification.

Subtensions
FFP: 'subtensions measured in MRAD and remain constant at all magnifications'. Published: illuminated .165 centre dot inside a broken illuminated ring 2.5 inside / 3.5 outside (.5 thick); line .08; vertical hashes 1 at whole mils and .5 at half mils, .5 apart; horizontal half-mil ticks .25; holdover dots below centre at .69 and 2.75 (black) and 1.75 and 4.25 (red, .2); grid dots .15. Drawn, not published (the sheet is to scale): horizontal whole-mil hashes 0.5 tall and centred to 4 mil, half-mil ticks below the line only at 2.5 and 3.5; the vertical line starts 0.5 below centre and is broken around each red dot; the black dots are 0.2 across and sit on the line; ring cut at 11.5 / 78.5 / 101.5 / 168.5 degrees above the line and at about 36 degrees below it (the lower cut is slightly off radial; drawn radial at the mean); grid dots at whole mils on rows 2 (+/-1-2), 3-4 (+/-1-3) and 5-6 (+/-1-4); numerals 4 on the horizontal arm and 2 / 4 / 6 beside rows 2, 4, 6. Lines drawn to 9.2 mil (the sheet's frame is 8.8). The MOA version of this reticle is vortex-ebr-8-moa; they are not the same pattern (the MRAD has a full vertical scale and no ranging ladder).
How this one was checked
Verified 8 Oct 2026 against specs/vortex/VTX_SE-11002_EBR-8-BDC_MRAD_1-10x24_RS_I_RI_ST.pdf page 1. Scale 20.4725 pt/mil fitted to the grid-dot pitch, centre (198.0, 221.1) = the red centre dot; all sixteen published callouts then land (listed in tools/build_vortex_ebr8_mrad.py). Lines and hashes converted exactly from the vector outlines (rectangles from the outline's own vertices; the two on-line dots cut out of the outline and drawn as dots), so which side each tick sits (horizontal half-mil ticks below only), gaps and extents are the drawing's own; dots from their bezier extents; ring from its vertex radii (1.25 / 1.75) and cut angles; numerals placed from glyph boxes.
