[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 299050, member: 9253"] For some of my rifles which have appropriate ballistics I make a little autocad drawing from "Quicktarget" calculations and stick the diagram on the rifle stock. I set the rifle zero to the bottom of the top post to maximize the useable area of the mil-dot scope. Closer than 200 yards the rifle is just shot point blank, in this case with a 4" point blank diameter. The very busy Horus reticle is the same principle. It's oviously more precise. I'd think this is faster and easier. The scope doesn't even have to be calibrated in milliradians, but you do have to know what the calibration is. I don't use Mil-dot for rangefinding. Lasers are much more accurate. [IMG]http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w108/ubvri/Ballistics/dsc08254.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
