[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 479832, member: 1133"] Of course the problem with holding for both elevation and windage with a subtension of 3.6 IPHY is that trying to inteprolate both windage and elevation (holding off in space) becomes difficult and increasingly so the further out u go and the windier it gets. I use the 6-18x Nikon Buckmasters MD on a 17 MIV XP-100 for prairie dogs, and have made some 1st-shots to ~500 yds. using the 1/8th IPHY turret for elevation and windage calcd. to 2.4 IPHY "mil subtension" when the optic is adjusted to 18x (besides giving me basically a 1/2" dot instead of the mil-std. ~3/4")-- [IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t49/sscoyote1/007_7.jpg[/IMG] Trying to interpolate the hold for windage using this reticle on 1st shots is a great and fun challenge for me. This is what happens when u get into this long-range stuff. The prairie dog splat (gore) factor takes a big back seat to an accurately calcd. system for 1st-shot connections.
