Sionnach:

Why would this technique be specific to a mildot scope?

Does the target know or care about what type of sight you are using?

I have used this type of target for any type of sight. If you go with irons, your aiming point needs to be big enough to see is all.

It is of no value under 300; is of almost no value at 500; and is of 'ball park' value if you intend on shooting regularly at ranges past 500. It is better than no zero but isn't perfect.
