[QUOTE="jfolanddvm, post: 2306491, member: 70626"] There are a lot of shooters on this forum who are more experienced than me, so I am surprised nobody has refuted this. Just in case there are some inexperienced people who are looking here for answers, and may get confused, first focal plane (FFP) vs second focal plane (SFP) will make no difference if you are dialing and shooting center - only if you are using reticles for holdover. Dialing 2 MOA up on a SFP scope, whether at the bottom of its magnification or at the top, with all other factors being equal, will have the exact same point of impact as dialing 2 MOA up on a FFP scope. Lots of good information on here, but bad information or opinions should be corrected so as not to lead others down the wrong path. Just this weekend, I was shooting with a guy that has shot for 30 years, reloads all his own ammo, and has multiple custom rifles, but who had no idea the difference between FFP and SFP and how it affected holdovers. Maybe I misunderstood the post or maybe it was just worded wrong, and I do not use Strelock, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but [B]dialing for elevation[/B] should be no different in FFP vs SFP scopes no matter whether shooting at 6x or 24x.
