Stadimeter accuracy

How accurate is the stadimeter? I know it's more accurate the closer you are but I still seem to get an error of about 200 - 300 meters from ranges above 5,000m and about 50 - 100 meter sized errors when I'm closer than 5,000m to the target. I'm assuming this is normal right?

I'm using TDWs NewUI and the manos scopes mod 8x5 version. The only problem is that these slightly incorrect range readings will then throw off your AOB and speed calculations too. Since I switched to "map contacts off" i've had a much higher rate of misses. Is this normal with the stadimeter?
