[QUOTE="Crews, post: 1444616, member: 83626"] I think it's pretty important here to differentiate what we're talking about here with "hold over lines." [B]There's a FFP Mil/Moa based reticles, and then there's generic BDC reticles.[/B] [B]Big difference in effectiveness and usefulness between those two.[/B] IMO, you're not setting yourself up for an ethical long range shot on an animal (400+ yards) unless you're talking in terms of Mil/Moa, and understanding the effect environmental and atmospheric conditions have on your dope. Elevation, density altitude, etc all change your POI and have to be accounted for. This effect obviously becomes more exaggerated the further out you go. Using a generic BDC reticle is only effective at certain range limits. You can't always count on the drop at a certain line being the same. It's up to each individual as an ethical hunter to understand these margins of error associated with using this type of reticle, and know the limitations. [/QUOTE]
