[QUOTE="Luke Mason, post: 15422, member: 912"] Brent, Thanks for the reply. Using an example to answer your question on mil estimation using .05 increments, I am basically visualizing what appears to be "not quit" a true .7 or .6, it then becomes .65 I am not saying this is easy, however, very much possible. I can walk that out in the .05 increments as needed...e.g., 1.5,1.55,1.6,1.65,...etc All of the guys that use this reticle that I shoot with, maintain these types of readings to get the most accurate capability out of the estimation. As you said, out at 1000yds it becomes very difficult to get any reading period. At the greater distances, with the smaller targets, I am happy to break it down into the 10th's...e.g., .6, .7, .8,etc. I realize the limitations of the mil-dot at greater ranges, and was wondering if the NP-R2 moa ranging had a leg up on it somehow. Reading other posts about the NP-R2, there was mention of it working best as a calibrated hold over reticle if the velocity was up around 3300+fps. I am only humming along at around 3000fps (.300WM). Realizing that, the benefit I was hoping for was that I was thinking about speaking in the same moa language of the turrets. This would eliminate some extra thinking for the shooter I would think. Thanks for your input; if you have any more info, I would appreciate it. Luke [/QUOTE]
