I guess it is my feelings that hold over/under works and often works well with practice because the calculations are occurring in your head. But for precison I would prefer the graduations in the scope.

There are basically two methods that seem to be raising to the surface. A mil-dot type reticule and ballistic compensation type reticule. For many years te military survived on the mil-dot for both elevation and windage - today many compainies are offering compensation type reticules.

Personally I guess both types will required education and i do believe that both types are going to be better than "dead reckoning" especially as the range increases.
