Are mildots all that usefull on .177?

[RobF]

on my 177 S200 the range of dots used on 24 mag is between 2 down and 1.5 up...thats on my nikko nighteater which has notoriously wide dot spacing...my deben has tighter dots so i anticipate even more would be used but i intend to junk midots in favour of bdc so i dont have to think about zoom anymore.

Very useful if you know the range . My Nikko Sniper 10x with a thirty yard zero is bang on one mildot at 45 yards. Makes 45 yarders easy if I know they are 45 yards

7 yard 3 mils
10 1
14 zero
20 .5
25 .5
30 .5
35 zero
40 .5
45 1

All ranges rounded to nearest full or half dot, (45 yard is actually .8)
