[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 18473, member: 808"] Sodbuster, In response to the original question with my opinion. Really the two advantages of mil-dot over the other reticles mentioned is that it works well for ranging if needed (batteries out on rangefinder) and it's wide distribution. I have a Ballistic plex on one rifle, TDS on one I load for, Mildot on another and one with turrets. Mildot has been the easiest one to figure out for long ranges. I have an excel spreadsheet that I plugged in ballistics info into and got my mil holdovers. TDS is a bit more complicated, but with their "Factor" method it will come together fairly well. Ballistic plex works, but really came down to trial and error with a lot of shooting to find out what the lower bars REALLY equate to with a given load. My next scope will have mildot unless I can only afford a Fullfield with Ballistic plex for some reason. On the subject of range compensating versus clicking, I think range compensation is quicker and easier, but limited (realistically to 600 yards). Clicking come ups works well as long as you have the elevation and know what your round will do at any known distance. That Horus reticle is scary. [/QUOTE]
