[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 456841, member: 319"] You've been mis-informed. Mil dots are used for holdover a heck of a lot more than they are for ranging and they always have been. While I have found a good BDC reticle (I don't really consider the Nikon a "good" one) is about the fastest thing there is out to 500-600 yds, in the end a straight Mil (or MOA) reticle is much more versitile. You are not married to any load or set of ballistics--they'll work with anything. And even if you do dial elevation, you can still use the marks to very accurately hold wind. Many BDC reticles lack any marks for that on the horizontal crosshair. [/QUOTE]
