This channel is a great resource to learning everything there is about long range and precise shooting
I got 1 minute and 13 seconds in before my brain melted and blood started dripping from my nose and ears.
I never use any of those calculations. I just memorize the hold-over or hold-under for various distances at a small number of power settings. E.g. I use 4x for 50 yards and under and 8x for 50 yards plus. Then I just need to remember that 50 yards is 1 dot down or 1 dot up etc (depending on where I set my zero).
I use the AO to estimate range or a range finder if I have time.
I have no illusions that I do things the correct way but it works for me. I can't seem to find the level of concentration needed to follow this guys instructions. I put it down to a lack of horse-power upstairs for me. I knew I should have eaten more fish as a kid....

Brother you got further than I did, Every breaker and fuse I got upstairs starting popping and smoking. 
Still its cool and gives some good base information, The guy goes into a lot of details that are great for both target and hunting applications. He usually gives a in depth way of doing the calculations then a practical method.
