[QUOTE="MachV, post: 670183, member: 93"] Haveing worked with the MP-8 reticle for over ten years here is what I've come up with. Have only used the fixed 16x and 6-24s but here is what works for me. The fixed 16x is what it is a ½ mil that works great for holdovers.....I usualy sight them in @ 100 on the first medium hash above the reticle and figure the drops out from there useing standard mildot formulas. The 6-24s and the 3-18 are easy as all you have to do is calibrate the reticle to 18x and its turns into an MOA reticle istead of mills. I'm tempted to lock the adjuster on these scope once they are calibrated but as yet have learned to leave them @ 18x and call it good enough? I see no need to know the holdovers @ the lowest power as I only use that for point plank shooting where the x hairs are good enough. For full power settings I just use a 1" grid target @ exactly 100 yards and make note of where the hashes are on the grid and can work a chart up from there. A little time @ the range will tell you a lot, we do a lot of rock busting to confirm drops. [/QUOTE]
