[QUOTE="HOT TUNA, post: 1366233, member: 95931"] I have only used and owned FFP scopes. I have noticed a trend of long range hunters using second focal plane scopes and am interested in learning how there used in practical application for a long range hunting shot. Through research I have not seen anyone explain how a second focal plane scope is used to adjust for windage when engaging a target. Are you guys indexing your windage solution on your turret then taking the shot or are you adjusting your scope magnification to where the reticle is calibrated and holding for wind? Maybe a mix of both? What about second shot corrections? Do you measure the correction then simply dial it or do you hold the correction? I understand that either method won’t be an issue and is more shooter preference if you take the shot at the magnification the reticle is calibrated for. What if said magnification isn’t appropriate for the shot? Say you have a 5-25x SFP and the reticle is calibrated at 25x and the appropriate mag setting for the shot is odd, say 16-18x. How do you deal with that on the fly? [/QUOTE]
