It's the fastest way to get hits on target especially with multiple Targets at varying distances. It's also great for letting go of the whole how many inches did I miss by crap. If the scope is ffp which I believe most Christmas tree or holdover style reticles are, the units in the reticle are the measuring unit regardless of distance regardless of power setting.
So if you miss by 1 mil to the right you observe that the bullet strike landed near the 1 mil tick Mark in the scope and can choose to either dial 1 mil to correct the shot or you can simply slide the rifle over so that the 1 mil Mark is now the point if aim over the target in about .035 seconds.
No inches, no centimeters, no conversions, just observe, correct, and shoot. Too flipping easy. Doesn't matter if I'm at 2500 yards, 1.7 nautical miles or 85 meters a mil is a mil and a moa is an moa in the reticle.
The hold over reticle is super handy for spotting other guys shots too for the same reason above. Just measure, correct, and shoot. Doneski
