[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 239350, member: 704"] I have the reticle Kurtr posted on the first page of posts. I didn't notice if his was mils or minutes. Keep in mind you can range with a minute of angle like you can with mildots and I think better. On the other hand if you know the range you can estimate size like antlers that are 16 inches or 20 inches wide. On my AR15 I do have the Nikon reticle and it's second focal plane. It works perfect with Strelok+ as you can slide the power and change the distances on your phone. For many years I had a chart on the side of my rifle like Jiffy mentioned. Now I use a very thin permanent market and print information to 1200 yards inside my rear scope cover. Flip it up and hold over for every 50 yards and windage for 10mph at 300, 600, 900, and 1200. For a half dozen of my rifles I have two or even three rear scope covers for different loads. If I hunt the mountains I pull the tape out of the rear scope cover and redo them for 4000 ft elevation, 6000 ft and 8000 ft. Temperature can screw you up too, but if you need to shoot fast learn the reaction of your cartridge, bullet, and powder you use. For me one click up or down every 300 yards for a 20 degree temperature change from the temperature when I chronographed puts me minute of coyote. I try to chronograph when temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees because my program default is 59 degrees. Don't pull your cartridges out of a warm pocket or vehicle and chronograph. [/QUOTE]
