[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 728610, member: 30902"] You are thinking correctly. Set your scope on whatever magnification your mil dots are true 1 mil dots and go from there. Set your zero to 100 and using your dope just figure a holdover based on your drops. Have a chart made up that you can just tape to the inside of your rear scope cap if you use flip caps and have those holdovers marked in mils/fractions of mils. Then simply make yourself up a little range card using a range finder and visible landmarks along the way so you know that if the deer comes out between marker 2 and marker 3 he's between say 200-275 or marker six and seven meaning he's between 50-550 or however you set it up. I use the mildots in an even simpler fashion for quick shots based on known body dimensions to judge holdover and lead. [/QUOTE]
