[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 234574, member: 1133"] A rangefinding reticle is a ballistic reticle is a rangefinding reticle. The mil-ranging formula is actually used for both rangefinding and downrange zeroing, since a bullet drop at any distance is in a way the same as a tgt. size, for example suppose we want to know what the holdover would be for a bullet that drops 30" @ 500 yds. in inch per hundred yds.-- 30 x 100 / X / 1.0 = 500 X=6 inch per hundred yds. Suppose we now want to know how far away a 30" tgt. is when it fits between 2 6 inch per 100 yd. stadia lines-- 30 x 100 / 6 / 1.0 = X X=500 yds. ...so any ranging reticle can easily become a ballistic reticle and vice versa. I love playing around with reticle-rangefinding, and reverse milling concepts. Recently we actually measured the size of a tgt. @ 1000 yd. using a mil-dot reticle at a power other than calibrated, and we were within 0.3" from true tgt. size. This struff is a kick and will flat amaze u at how accurate it can be. [/QUOTE]
