[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 113394, member: 25"] Mildots were developed for determining distance for military purposes. They are not really user-friendly for that use. Laser rangefinders do a faster and probably more accurate job for most casual users. Military specialists are trained to use them very effectively. Mildots provide useful hold-over point for longer shots. You just have to determine which dot to use for which distance. Not too hard to do with some range time. You can also vary the power of your scope to make the dots work better with your particular load. Problem for many casual shooters is getting used to the miliradian which is about 3.6" at 100 yards. We usually like to think in inches. [/QUOTE]
