[QUOTE="phillietimothy, post: 478017, member: 29871"] Thanks for the input SBruce. Nikon Spot-On software actually showed yardage figures for the top, middle, and bottom of the mildot. I was using the middle to middle number but it simply was not matching up with the MOA come-up. I do realize the drop for a 22lr is significant out past 100 yards. When I get my first centerfire, I will absolutely use a MOA reticle. For now I think it will be best to get a fine cross-hair reticle and dial for elevation. My initial thought was to experiment with mil-dot vs dialing, I think mil-dot may be okay with a flatter shooting cartridge. 6/10 mil at 160 yards is 3.45", a potential error that large is too much. This would represent a potential 2.35" error at 109 yards, the body of the ram at 109 yards is a shade over 2.5" high. I noticed you are from Wyoming, one of my long term goals is to own land in Wyoming. Beautiful country, I appreciate your thoughts and advice. Tim [/QUOTE]
