[QUOTE="Broz, post: 762704, member: 7503"] I would not agree that all that is needed is a duplex. I do use hold over for follow up practice shooting rocks. Doesn't really matter what power I am on either with my SFP spotting my own shots. I simply and quickly move the crosshairs to the point of impact and look at the correction needed to be center mass. Then hold over that much and send the follow up. I don't need to know if it is 1 moa or 2 moa, all I need to see is the difference to hold to correct. If I am spotting for someone else then yes I need to be on highest power and I will call out the correction in moa. If the shooter is dialing the correction he can be on any power, if he is going to hold from my call in moa he too needs to be on full power. I have my NXS on 22x almost all the time unless I am in the timber. Shots there are usually point blank and if game is on eth move past point blank I doubt I would take that shot anyway. Another option I have been using on a few rifles I set up lately is a turret I number out to 600 yards but you can still see the moa graduations too. Range it dial and shoot out to 600. Take the time and calculate after that. Plenty fast enough for me and the last few coyotes that were under 400 didn't seem to mind waiting. So back to the OP's original question, "I want to "dial" my shots, do I really need a FFP scope? I understand that the windage subtentions would only be correct at max power but is there an advantage to FFP, other than that? " I guess so far the answer is no. Unless I am missing something.
