The BDC on a second focal plane scope is only designed to be used at maximum magnification. I would probably put A first focal plane scope if I was to use BDC marks or mil dots for known hold over marks. The Super Sniper. SS. 3-9X42 is a FFP w tactical knobs but Leupolds. Balistic Compensating scopes do essentially the same thing in a hunting type scope allowing you to dial in correction rather than hold over.
If I was going to try to take it to 300 yds I would dial in correction with tactical knobs or a similar system like using Leupold balistic compensating knobs custom engraved to match a specific load. 45-70 is like a musket they have a very steep trajectory. You will need a lot of range time.
