Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 APMR Mil: Ranging using Parallax adjustment?

Just got a new scope, the Athlon noted above, I am trying to set it up for FT Hunter class.

My question: if I set the power to 12, at a target 10 yards, adjust the parallax till it focuses, note this range on parallax wheel and repeat this process at 5 yard intervals, will I have the dope set properly? Not taking into consideration temperature, humidity...



Yes, this is the first time I ever did this.



Thanks
 
Would there not be a POI change if one used max. magnification for ranging and then turned the magnification down? I would set the wheel up at the magnification I'd be using (16x for hunter) for shooting. 

Yes, for sure 1 yard increments between 10 and 20 yards and then 2 yard increments between 20 and 30 or 40 and then 5 yard increments out to 55. 

Have fun with it!
