Anyone Using a Burris E1 Reticle?

Just purchased a Burris Fullfield E1 3x9 30mm scope for use on an AR and wondered if anyone has used one.

Not sure if I'm going to like the reticle as I'm used to the full duplex or Ballistic Plex reticle. The E1 B plex looks a little small and I'm wondering how it will show up in the field?

Think I prefer the full width/height crosshairs as I wonder if it might be easier to cant the rifle w/short crosshairs? Wouldn't take much cant at 300 yards to throw you off quite a bit on windage but maybe something you will get used to?

I have the 4.5-14x42 on my 17 HMR. I mostly use it to shoot paper...
Like it very much. The hash marks are consistent with the trajectory.

I also use it for groundhogs.. 150 yds or less.
I don't think I would like the reticle to use at a running target. It does seem small. Truth be told, I've never used it that way, so I don't know for sure.

Typically have it set at 10x or higher.
 
Thanks WD.
Not sure the size will be a handicap on running targets, my main concern is longer shots. Not uncommon to take 200-250 yd shots when one hangs up and I am more concerned that the short horizontal crosshair may be hard to keep perfectly leveled. Guess we'll see. I don't believe the windage mil dots will be visible (to my old eyes anyway) in the field. OK on a white target in good light, but............
