Personally, I've never been sold on the system. Yes, it does work, but there is way too much stuff in the viewing picture of the scope to confuse and even distort the target you are looking at. I prefer mil-dots, and if you want simplicity and you know the metric system very well, then here is the mil-dot formula to use:

How many centimeters does a single mil cover on the target?
add a zero and that is the range in meters to the target.

The mil relation formula is dang easy if you use the metric system, its when you use english units of measure that it gets complicated.

Flanker,

Yes, I do build my own rifles

The 7.62x54R is an interesting question. I've never done it, and I know I chamber my barrels in it, the question comes with the rimmed case fitting/feeding in the remington bolts/extractors. If that is possible, then it will not be a problem.

Unfortunately, I think its more hassle then its worth. The case head diameter is weird which can be an extraction problem, and the rimmed cases will not function correctly in a remington magazine as far as I know.
