[QUOTE="Steve Douglass, post: 19878, member: 2879"] Macv, Jeff, and Milanuk, I'm new to the board, but would like to throw in a fews words. First, it's refreshing to converse with a few people that seem to know what they're talking about. I do some deer hunting and some tactical paper punching and I use nothing but mil-dot reticles. Although it's easier for me to reference my target size as a percentage of the 36" X 1000 divided by the mils. It does tend to be slightly less accurate, but you're dealing with easier numbers. For example: If you're black tail deer hunting which can be approximately 24". That's .67 rounded off times 1000 divided by the 1.75 mils. It comes to approx. 382 yds rather than the 381 yds in your calculation, but if you calculate your size variable in advance e.g. .67(1000)=670 or 24"(27.78)=666.72 then half your work is done. Just divide the mils and you're there. I use Butler Creek flip-up covers and I tape various info to the inside cover so that it's visible when I open it. I do this for both hunting and punching paper. Macv, I also have the book The Ultimate Sniper, good book. Thanks guys, have a good week.
