[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 201906, member: 2736"] BIG Custom reticles ar normaly for shorter distance (500 to 1000yards) and work very well if the shooter is proficient at reading wind,mirageand distance. But for the really long distance one needs to take the time and adjust the scope. It is mostly a mater of choice, I like the milldot reticles but never use them as a range finder now that there are very good range finders available. And on long shots prefer to use the turrents and on shots closer than 5oo or 600yrds I will use the mill dots for hold over an windage because error is minimal. Some times you dont have time to adjust the scope (Like running shots) but ethics prevents me from taking running shots over 4 or 500yrds so if I cant be assured of a one shot kill then I dont take the shot. At long distance there are so many variables and a lot of thought and prep must be made before taking the shot ,and hold is just to inconsistant. No mater what system you chose be proficient with it and know your limits. So to answer your question, There is nothing wrong with using a Duplex Reticle and dialing up the range and windage ,In fact it is recomended on the longer shots. Good luck and good hunting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
