Good video's Steve. I especially enjoyed the part about the advantage of adjusting power on the SFP scopes to match the subtentions of the reticles. Since I prefer SFP scopes I can use that.
I also have used the Centerpoint scopes on some 22's. I found them to be pretty awesome for $70 and are great for a gopher rifle.
The big problem with ranging with any scope and reticle is knowing target size. Both deer and elk vary a lot in size from chest to back. A 10% error in size can result in 10% error in distance. So if a deer is said to be 18" tall brisket to back bone and he is 19.8" you are off 10%. That may not result in a miss at 500 yards, but at 1000 you are in trouble.
Never the less, this is all good stuff to know if you use it with in its means. Especially if you find yourself out there and for some reason this is the only method you have.
