Never used one and don't know anyone with one in 50 years of hunting. But thinking of trying one. My question is on a 4x16 power at what power roughly would the cross hair be about same size as a standard SFP? Wondering what power most of you keep yours on for standard hunting.

I have a 4-32 and my typical setting is somewhere around 8ish.

Different scopes have different reticle thicknesses, sizes and characteristics. So somewhere around 10-16 depending what scopes you're comparing and how they do their magnification.
It's not really apples to apples.

It depends on what type of reticle you pick, just like with an SFP. I sold the few SFPs I had left a few years ago and went to all FFP. I replaced a Swaro with a S&B T96 Polar. I will run 4x when I'm hunting in the wood or 12-16 when I'm shooting longer distances. I use the full range.

I carry on min power. I increase power until I'm just confident in my ability to see my aim point….for example, a 300yd shot would be about 9x. Maybe you want 15x. That might be better for you.
The reason I do that is I want to see what happens after I shoot. Does it drop? Run? Jump? Max power makes it hard to see where it goes.
Bang flop is a real PITA, if you don't know it dropped.
