I run the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 ffp (ebr-2c reticle) on my target rifle and the Vortex 4-12x44 Crossfire II - (BDC recticle) on my scrub gun. As an armature to the gun world, I can't fault them. I haven't noticed any tracking issues with either of mine and fine the clarity fine. The BDC isn't perfect, but that was to be expected. There would be a plethora of differences between how the reticle was calculated and set, to my specific set up. which is above my pay grade.
Lastly their customer service is second to none.
I rate them highly.

2 nightforce NXS 5.5-22X56 ...... but on any power above 18 they were both like looking through a curtain it was
like a milky haze or fog ....... I now truly believe in the buy once cry once saying I will never regret spending the
money on a NF scope even thinking of putting a SHV on my 223 now you can get them with the NXS dials ...
just my 2 bobs worth cheers

Honestly, wasn't aware off the calculator. I will be looking into it though. Is it App or Web based?
I am still trying to confirm a load for that rifle as well. so up until this point its been an ever changing factor.
Thanks for the heads up on it though.
