[QUOTE="Loner, post: 456886, member: 24560"] I think I covered the reasons here. It just seems some people are so hung on what they use they leave little room for anything else. The OP is new to this and needs to explore the various stuff out there to get a feel for what will work best for him. The fact that the military made up a range chart for a mildot scope doesn't mean it was designed for hold over. It's just an inherent quality of the mildot system that it can be used for that purpose. Unlike a BDC that is designed for the task. I personally don't own but one bdc scope reticle and have memorized the lines in moa instead of drop. It's all what works for the individual. Let me add the math is my main reason for liking iphy. I think distances in yards. I can add two zeros on the end of my target height in inches and divide by the Iphy reading in my head. I can also correct that by 5% for moa in my head. I cannot take the height of my target in inches , times it by 27.78 and divide it by the mil reading in my head. I would venture to say very few hunters can. Now if you think in meters it's the way to go Height of target in cm x 10 divided by mils. [/QUOTE]
