Trusted to the naked eye. So why more and more power needed in the rifle scope?A reticle is by far the best way to score when the difference in the score could come down to thousandths of an inch, which it often does in Varmint for Score.

^^^^^^^Oh great. You want Al’s and Jackie’s thoughts on a scoring decision but not mine. See if I care. I’ll give my decision anyway. If the reticle touches the line, it scores up. If you can’t see white, it must be touching.
Your right I apologize. I realized after I posted I missed you. But your the Man, you answered the question. That is how I score it but have had some rebuttal from some who feel it must break the line.I guess Jackie doesn't want to get involved, he commented but avoided the question. Thanks to you , Uthought and Uknew the correct answer. More importantly you were man enough to put it out there, thanks.Oh great.

I have also heard you can only plug once. However if the target is properly supported (it very seldom is) is that really true.?.? Where is there a set of printed rules that says this? What evidence supports this? I would love to have it in a printed rule book. I would also be interested in seeing the same referring to touch the line vs break the line. Now this all brings up the number one absolute in my mind. At any shoot only one person scores every target so they are all scored on the same basis. What I have most noticed in over 55 years of competition is that everyone has an opinion but very few are willing to score. No one wants the pushback when there is complaints.I also said the plug can only be used once on a hole. When the bullet passes through the target it ends up making a hole smaller than the actual diameter of the bullet because the paper “springs back” ever so slightly. However, you are actually indexing on the burn pattern, if you are doing things right.
Do it right and if there is still any doubt, have the refs look. Scorer and two referees..majority rules. There shouldn't be any pushback. If someone is a sore loser after 2 or 3 of three refs agree, that's on them.I have also heard you can only plug once.
