Absolutely not. Trying to do it on the fly in a hunting situation or any other situation is not as fast or near as accurate as a rangefinder considering you need to know the dimensions of the object you are ranging and can you hold the reticle steady enough to obtain an accurate measurement? How long is that going to take? If you are only talking 250 to 350 yards is it even worth it? If you are in a static location and have the time you can make a range card but if you have the time for that you can use a rangefinder and this is obviously not applicable in a lot of hunting situations.
