[QUOTE="jmden, post: 436060, member: 1742"] I agree. You still have to run these ballistic reticles that aren't based on mil/moa through a ballistic calculator after having double checked your drops experimentially in a certain set of conditions, then programs like Exbal can tell you what yardages the various hash marks will be at. But by the time you do that, what's the point? You're worse off than if just you used a mil/moa reticle in the first place! ...a moa/mil reticle is much more functional for other reasons and you can do the same thing as these ballistic reticles with a moa/mil reticle to begin with! Exbal has a number of these reticles programmed into it so that you can check where the various hash marks will have you hit in various environmental conditions, if you've confirmed your drops in a certain set of conditions already entered and saved into Exbal--I set up my brothers Leup B&C this way...but the numbers are off quite a bit sometimes from what Leup says they should be to the point that much past 400yds and you could be very likely to not hit that deer. To just buy one of these reticles that is matched to such and such ballistic curve where, they've got about 10-20 chamberings lumped into one ballistic curve and think that's all you need to do to hit critters that far...! Some will realize the situation, but many likely not. It bothers me that NF went out to 1k--it bothered me enough that NF did the reticle out to 600 a couple of years ago...I thought they might be a hold out company in this regard for philosophical and ballistic reasons...but now...out to 1K!...hate to say it, but it sure seems like a grab for market share from those 'hunters' who may just not know any better.
