Calculate BDC reticle based on trajectory calculator and subtensions?

Are there any sites/software that will allow me to cross-apply bullet trajectory based on the calculations from shooterscalculator.com along with the subtension measurements of a BDC reticle?

Scope reticle has holdover marks at 300,400,500,600, and 700 yards, and is "designed for 180 of the most common hunting loads, including the .243, .270, 30-06, and .308". However, since I have the subtensions, and can calculate the trajectory, I should be able to put a sticker on it to the effect of 3=312 yards, 4=417 yards, ect.

I really don't have a place to shoot more than 200 yards, so it's kinda academic and a bit OCD lol, but it would be nice to have a much closer idea of what the lines equate to if I have the chance to shoot longer range, and to see if the marked measurements and actual measurements are close enough or way off.

Is it a Nikon bdc?
Nikon‘s Spot On app is good.

I think the old Exbal ballistics calculator will do it if you can find a copy.

Lapua Looking around I found the Lapua app - Looks interesting.
