Lase, dial, shoot.

The reticle is just a different 'ruler' to measure corrections that can either be applied to the turrets, or held via reticle holdoff, without the need to convert any units of measure.


Shane,

Sort of.

Some of us use the reticle for in field measurements.

The outside (or inside) spread of a buck or bulls rack is measured in inches and MOA works better for that.

Holding in 1/2 MOA increments is as close as possible for most of us on a wind hold and is easier than 1/10 mil holds.

Both can work but MOA is better for a hunting optic, at least in my opinion. I like to lay inches down at yards and MOA does a good job in that realm.


MILLS works just as well, your 1/3 MOA is very close to .3 MILLS. I use .3 MILLS as approximately 1 inch per hundred yards. .3 MILLS is actually 1.074 inches @ 100 yards.
