At the risk of hijacking the thread: Would you say it's feasible to use holdover for 12 fpe power level out to 50m? If so what kind of reticle would you choose? And what magnification do you use (in WFTF/ Open) for shooting vs ranging? Do you change magnification for standers and is that why you are shifting to/ use FFP scopes?
Thanks for the explanation.
My current preference is to use a 1moa reticle and run at 24x magnification for shooting. Though I often turn it down for locating targets, and occasionally turn it down for shooting. I've always used holdover, even when shooting at 12fpe.
I'm currently using 6-24x50 FFP moa/moa scopes. The selection of suitable scopes with those features is growing quickly. Even though I prefer to shoot at 24x max, I would likely get a higher mag scope, but most of the higher mag FFP scopes are lacking in some area (close focus/reticle/affordability/etc.)
The only reason I would want greater than 24x would be if it improved focus range finding for FT.
I've always used holdover, even when shooting at 12fpe, so it is possible. Whether it is preferable depends on the user/scope/situation.
Thanks for the details. I shoot mostly 12 fpe by habit. I will try to see if I can use holdover more seriously beyond 40m.
