[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1003116, member: 2011"] I am a fairly experienced shooter. I get confused between MIL and MOA when the reticle is MIL and turrets are MOA. Using a reticle for ranging is pure nonsense. Been there done that and found the poorest of LRFs better. Thus reticles are useless for range finding. Period! Who want's to do any sort of calc when the typical game shot is around a minute of time. I shoot extreme long range at stuff and moderate range at game. I have two favorite scopes. One is a ancient Weaver Tactical 4.5-14 X44 MIL reticle. Great glass, through my eyes, and totally reliable on any rifle I have. Problem, MIL reticle and MOA turrets. I just mounted moved it from my 338 RUM to 270 AM. Zero'd at 300 I get 5 mils drop at 1140. So I'm good to 1140 at 23"Hg and below (6000' and above) without having to dial. On the 338 RUM using hold overs I was game confident to 800 yards. Much practice moderate range rock taking with it proved the MIL reticle plenty precise to keep POI within 1 MOA (:rolleyes: Mil - MOA mixed units again) In other words, coyote accurate to moderate LR. When on the 270 I hold over to 1140 or so and dial from there out to 1500 yards, 10.5 additional MOA come ups) Heck its pretty simple: With the Weaver MIL dot its hold over and dial for wind. With tne NXS NPR-1 its dial come ups and hold for wind. Life is good... [/QUOTE]
