[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 576306, member: 27328"] The short answer is that if you want to use a ballistic reticle at any magnification, then FFP is probably best. If you want to hunt at night and do not have an illuminated reticle, the SFP is probably best. I like to scale my ballistic reticle to where the marks come out very close to standard 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 distances when the bullet passes through those marks. I can do that with SFP scope by varying my magnification to different loads. I will use a lower power with a slower bullet and a higher power with a faster bullet. Reticle subtends less angle on the target at higher power and subtends more angle on the target at low power. Power is written on the ammo box for reference. If you shoot a single load, then a FFP scope is probably best. [/QUOTE]
