One issue not mentioned with hold over reticles, is they fall apart when shooting at angles. With the rifleman's rule lets say you're shooting at 300m 30°. Your drop hold will be at the 260m point, and your windage hold will be on the 300m point.

I think what Magnetite is getting at is that if you are using a ballistic reticle that isn’t a Christmas tree or a grid that looks like a street map of Palmy Nth, when you have windage and distance you end up holding out of the reticle. Say two marks to the left and three down, this puts you out in space. With a windplex and dial you can at least dial to distance and hold off with markings for wind.
