[QUOTE="Baron528, post: 1356688, member: 89235"] I personally dial elevation and hold windage. The only time I don't is with small calibers (17 and 20) in higher winds. I'll dial to get close while shooting prairie dogs and make small corrections with hold. You are also correct in regard to BDC. It is a fast and accurate system when used correctly. It isn't as precise as a TMR type retical which can make all the difference depending on your target size. Both have advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. For example, I have a lightweight .280 rem that I limit my shots to 400 yards on deer sized game. In the area I predominately hunt, 200 yard shots are a much higher probability than 400 yard shots. That rifle wears a BDC to keep weight down and for it's use. My long range rifles are all setup to dial with TMR style reticles. FFP vs SFP is highly subjective in my opinion. I prefer SFP but understand why FFP is better in some situations. One scope you may want to look at is the SWFA 3-15x42. Available in both moa and mil. They track reliably and are good glass for the price. [/QUOTE]
