[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 160636, member: 1133"] I don't see why it would be any real advantage than what u already have, unless u're trying to shoot small vmnts. at that range. It's just a basic ballistic reticle quite similar to the BP u have. The subtensions of the stadia r a little different. When it comes to windage holdoff the BP reticle u have there can be used accurately with the horizontal plex post tips, and is established the same way u would elevation. The plex post tips r 3.4 MOA wide from center x-hair for the FFII 3-9X 40mm, and 3.25 for the 3-9X 50mm. If you're shooting @ 500 yds. in a 10 mph x-wind, and the ballistics program says u need say 3.0 MOA wind correction, then divide 3.0 by 3.4 (for the 40mm), and u get .9. So aim down to your 500 yd. mark, and then go over 9 tenths the way to the post tip, and shoot. All windage is really is just a trajectory in the horizontal plane, and can be referenced pretty accurately using the subtension vs. trajectory system. If i was developing a LR shooting system with that reticle then here's what that particular entry on my range sticker would look like (assuming 500 yds. is the 3rd stadia down)-- 500-3.0-.9 The Leupold may help some in the windage category as their plex post tips are 7.6 MOA either side of reticle's vertical axis for the 3-9X.
