[QUOTE="DMCI, post: 18111, member: 1730"] If I may, I would like to make two points. 1. Putting round specific information on the reticle assumes that the shooter will always be operating in the same set of environmental parameters. (Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Wind, etc.) So it is better to work with a measuring reticle such as a Mil Dot or Premier's Gen II. 2. However, MIL Dot and it's derivatives were designed to work in the metric system. My current favorite therefore is a reticle calibrated in MOA. The WERM formula for such a reticle is: Height Target(in) x 100 _______________________ = Range(Yards) Height Target(MOA) Note that the scope adjusts in moa as well, so there is no problem with multiple systems or strange conversion numbers. Further, if your come up chart is in inches, you just put that number on the reticle on the target and squeeze. No conversion charts, MilDot sliders, etc. For example, if you were IAN and your target was at 450 yards, you just center the 7.5 line on the heart of that big Elk and bang.
