Who uses their reticle to range find?

[Niquels]

That’s for firing solutions not sub tensions on your reticle. You have to may variables your introducing to find out if the reticle is correct.

Have I said something that bothers you? Why do you continue to challenge me?

If you wanted to be helpful you could have just said put a piece of paper up marked with two lines 5.235 inches apart then at exactly 500 yards look through your scope at the paper. The lines should appear 1 MOA apart. Now your scope's sub tensions are calibrated at 500 yards.

Is it practical to use my reticle to find target distances for hunting?

You could but.... screw the reticle thing. Get yourself the Leica rangefinder, generate a drop chart, shoot and confirm the drop chart, tune up the chart if needed, go hunt and kill stuff.

Been using laser rangefinders since dawn of time and 99.9999999% of the time they work. Almost never use the Kestrel.

Yep, that's where I'm headed. Thanks.

No just getting the point across that there’s a lot more involved than just getting a gun with a reticle and go shooting at distance proficiently. Carry on

No! Especially at your max range. Just go buy a Leica and be done.

Rangefinder is defiantly fast and accurate no need to complicate things. You might be chasing your tail with your scope though:

2x Leupold Mark 5 Field Evaluations

This is a field evaluation of the Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44mm and the Leupold Mark 5 5-25x56mm. These scopes were brought to me from Ryan Avery for evaluation. The ammunition used for the 3.6-18x was Federal 168gr GMM, and for the 5-25x was Hornady ELD-M Match 168gr that was purchased by Ryan...
