How many here use a Mill Dot Recticle in your scope to judge range?

[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 391606, member: 3756"] [b]Re: How many here use a Mill Dot Reticle in your scope to judge range?[/b] One needs to get good at it before you can really start accomplishing something. It's easier to miss than most people think it is. That's just because of the nature of the system in which you are guessing the size of the target. [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/t0q3rd.jpg[/IMG] The calculations on the right is telling us of a deer measuring 17 inches at exactly 700 yards. It shows that the reading should be 0.67 Mils. Next one to the left, shows that our hunter in his excitement read 0.75 Mils, which is very easy to do, and called the deer to be 18". Our hunter will be making adjustments to shoot at 667 yards when our deer is at 700 yards away. What happens? Even a 300 RUM with 210 high BC bullet will miss that deer by almost a couple of inches. The point being made is we would need lots of practice. Reason why I use a range finder. :D If you want to play with those values, you can freely download a small application linked for at the bottom of my signature. [/QUOTE]
