1. A system for configuring a reticle display field of an aiming device comprising:
a housing including an objective lens and eyepiece portion configured to present a down-range image and the reticle display field through the eyepiece portion;
a display device configured to display a digital reticle image in the reticle display field and indicating a zero point corresponding to a first known range;
a magnification sensor configured to produce an output signal that indicates a magnification setting for the aiming device;
a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled with the processor; wherein the computer readable storage medium includes instructions, executable by the processor, to cause the optical aiming device to:
receive a first set of ballistics input data regarding a first ammunition;
determine a ballistic trajectory for the first ammunition;
determine, using the ballistic trajectory, a BDC pattern including one or more holdover marks corresponding to one or more first target ranges along the ballistic trajectory greater than the first known range indicated by the zero point;
determining a first magnification setting;
determining a first design for the reticle display field based on the first magnification setting;
project, using the display device, the first design for the reticle display field and the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field including the one or more holdover marks.
