I guess my explanation got scrambled somewhere between my chair and keyboard
. I should have not used the range finder reference the way I did in my previous example. My main point is that with your FFP setup, a hash mark is a hash mark is a hash mark. Regardless of what you use or at what distance or magnification. If you know how many hashes a specific sized target ranges at, and know how many hashes of elevation it takes to get to that distance, and you know your wind deflection in hashes, and your turrets match your hashes incrementally, then you can either dial or hold or do some of both if you wish, and you will be just fine. Don't get too wrapped up in MIL, IPHY, SMOA, MOA, etc... The choice is mostly irrelevant when your turrets match the reticle.
