[QUOTE="Adikted, post: 1374175, member: 91925"] In a first or front focal plane scope the reticle changes apparent size with the image as you change Magnification. So the MOA or MRAD measurement of the subtensions is accurate at any magnification. In a second or rear focal plane scope the reticle stays the same apparent size while the image gets larger and smaller so the MOA from the center of the reticle to the subtension is larger at a lower magnification than at a higher magnification so the subtensions can only be correct at a single setting, usually the highest. The best way to correct for bullet drop is to buy a scope with an elevation turret that is high enough quality to be repeatable and then turn the turret so you can aim with the cross hairs. Also you should zero your rifle at a distance that takes advantage of its maximum point blank range ( usually between 225 and 300 yards depending on the cartridge and load) this will help to keep you from having to worry about bullet drop in situations where you need to shoot quickly.
