Precision rifle FAQ- dialing your scope vs holding

When making a shot at long range, is it better to dial elevation into your scope or hold elevation in your reticle? I'm not sure there will ever be a right answer to this question but in this video we'll take an in depth look at both methods of adjusting for the required elevation to make a shot at long range. Through out this video I'll show real world down range differences between both options and then at the end I'll provide my thoughts on when and why you might use one method vs another.
