I will say it is much easier to forget how much your holding than what you have dialed, as what you have dialed is what you have dialed and you can look at it your windage if you forget, but with holding wind you can get lost in the sauce and forget what you just held. That being said dialing the wrong way between shots can happen if you aren’t careful.

Interesting that this is different for different people. On a troop line I am more likely to get lost dialing than I do holding, particularly if I have a miss and have to adjust. Holding forces me to have a number in my head for each hold. That number seems to stick better (I think this is because I have both the number in my head and a picture in my mind of what that looks like) when I hold vs when I dial. An added risk for me is that I cannot read my windage turret without coming way off the gun due to my eyesight.
