[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 500477, member: 12216"] You've just about got it. The real advantage to MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA is just being able to measure a missed shot with the reticle and dial that measurement directly into the scope. If you just use your software to setup your shot and then just use your reticle to hold off if the shot is off then it won't matter if you are using MIL/MOA. As for ranging it won't matter what your scope is for adjustments you just need to have a reticle that allows you to range. The standard mildot is just fine for that if you have a good idea of your target size. If your target size estimate is off then your range will be off. Having a MIL/MOA scope will not hurt your ability to use the reticle for getting a range to target. You can make a drop chart for any combo you like. Your software is basically giving you this for each set of data you enter. Even with your software though it is a good idea to do a range verification of the corrections your software is giving you. Sometimes the calcs don't quite match real word for many reasons. You really need to setup and shoot at various ranges and see how close your software gets you. Once you do this at several ranges and record your results you can play with your software settings until the projected drops match real world a little closer. [/QUOTE]
