[QUOTE="Steve Douglass, post: 19874, member: 2879"] This isn't a fact, but a general rule of thumb, when using the mil-dot reticle for distance summation, the reticle is designed for 3.6 MOA at a specific power which is either at 10X or that scopes greatest power. For example: Leupold MK4 LR/T 6.5-20x50 Mil-Dot reticle must be out to 20X when judging distance. However, I do have others that must be set to 10X. The scopes that use the First Focal Plane negate this issue. Leupold should be working on that and Springfield Armory has theirs coming out soon. Check the optics manual, it should say or contact the manufacturer. Otherwise, you can do what Jeff from TX said which is a good idea and exercise for newer Mil-Dot shooters. [/QUOTE]
