for me personally my thinking those dots really dont serve well as they are only good for there set ranges other than that you still have to hold over or under,
For me personally I really do like the "dots" - I would never think the BDC would be accurate as advertised - but with shooting you will find out what each dot really represents...

For me I know the mil-dots represents 3" @ 100 yards - so I have somewhat a built in range finder and from all the shooting that I do I know fairly well the trajectory of my bullet so with the 3" marks, the range, and the trajectory - I can put it all together... non of this matters if you do not shoot a lot and have all these varibles plug in the memory, because at game time you often really do not have time to compute the whole thing.

But in reality you can do some of this with the common old dual X reticle... it is a given distance from the Xhair to the thicker post portion of the X once you know this distance you can use that to compensate for longer shots from a ML.

I hope some of this makes sense...
