[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 479827, member: 1133"] I always break up whatever unit of subtension i'm using into tenths interpolatively (and even attempt 20ths sometimes)to give the highest degree of accuracy i can realize. I have the HUMR reticle that Darrell Holland's offering which is a .5 mil line system. It's set up for an 11" back to brisket coyote. Here's the dope-- [IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/sscoyote1/IMG_0630.jpg[/IMG] If i were using the 4.5-14x Nikon MD reticle i wouldn't apply it at 12x (mil-cald.). I'd go straight to 14 where i get a sort of "zero reticle stop" if u will that ensures my subtensions will be the same every time, besides being a bit more accurate for interpolating between dots. In that optic at 14x the subtension should be 3.12 inch per hundred yds. between dots according to the catalog. Nice thing about 2nd FP mil-dot reticles that use a .2 mrad dot is that the .2 relationship stays the same regardless of what power u are on. [/QUOTE]
