Re: Holdovers MIL/MOA
Thanks for the input, it is appriciated!! The reason I asked the question was if I would be able to use the center dot in the middle of the NF Mildot reticle to be able to place shots on target, Just because I like using the dots, not the whole dot, but the dot in the center(wow thats a lot of dots) I understand all of the factors that come in to play, when shooting fairly long ranges. ie: wind Near/Far, Wind value, Baro, Alt, Range to target, uphill, downhill, Click values, Spindrift yes maybe no. No I do not rely on Ballistic programs, all of my dope is real world. I have never used a mildot scope before, everything I have used is MOA. Also by dialing part of the elevation, I would not have to worry about turning back to zero as much. are the numbers in the first post correct? would it work? The range is just a range could be 650, could be 1250yds, Thanks for all the info. Remember it about using the DOT!

You answered your own question, you dial the exact elevation, and to approach the problem, you really only have two choices:
You can use a full reticle hold, 3.8 MILS, or dial the whole amount, 13 MOA. You don't hold some elevation and dial some elevation.
As to what method gets you more hits, consider this:
Is the ground hog really @ 650 yds, and not 630 or 670 yds, or some other number? Does your load really drop, exactly 13 MOA, today, in this exact weather condition and altitude.
Is the wind really 5 mph or is it, 3 or 7 mph or some other number at your target. How about wind direction? Because the wind will kill your shot, before elevation will, as a ground hog is taller standing, than he is wide.
In summary, the least of your problems is whether you can find and hold exactly 3.8 MILS with your reticle.....
