Since you always start with the distance, and always use clicks to adjust the scope, (IMO) seems the “logical” listing would be:

xxx, 1
yyy, 2
zzz, 3
etc.

I prefer to print it out in a little larger typeface, laminate it and mount it upside-down on the off side of the buttstock. Lean your head over the cheekpiece and it’s right there.

Trajectory Table on Scope Cover for Easy Viewing is a good idea. Providing you have the eyes for it

Editor: Another option is to print out a drop chart with LARGE type and have that laminated. You can attach the laminated card to your scope rings. That way it always stays with the rifle.

Rather than mark the distance and then clicks like this…
200=1.0 MOA
250=0.00 MOA
300=1.5 MOA
It is much more precice to mark the scope click then the distance…
0.00=100 yards
0.25=141 yards
0.5= 162 yards
0.75= 202 yards
1.0= 234 yards
1.25= 272 yards
1.5= 300 yards
etc.
This way you have the distance to match every scope click.

If your balistic software does not provide this kind of report, you can always interpolate the distances.

I have done this for years but as I live in wet old England I tape the table to the inside of the rear cover to protect it when the scope is not in actual use.
It needs to be slightly smaller but is still readable

The taped on trajectory data information on the scope cover is a great idea. However, I place it inside the rear lens cover to (1) protect it and (2) to eliminate the white color at the front of the scope when in the closed position.

Trick the military/tactical shooters use and I like it.
