[QUOTE="blackco, post: 159517, member: 7356"] I'm pretty new to this long range stuff so take my words with a grain of salt... I was playing with my mil-dot scope the other day, also on a 22-250, and it didn't take me long to determine that for ranging while hunting I don't think there are worth a durn for the reasons stated above! Just my opinion. Then, (beginners lesson) I was plinking at a dirt bank ~600 yards and determined my hold over using the mil-dots, the shot looked good but I wanted to see better so I cranked my scope up [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img], same "mil-dot" hold over and I hit about 7 feet low!!! OOps, forgot that whole first focal plane, second focal plane thing. My bad. I guess I'm just going to have to do the same as EVERYBODY else and learn "clicks." And they say the difference between humans and animals is humans can learn from OTHER'S mistakes. Not me I guess. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
