I would offer the opinion that if it takes no more effort to enter the shot data into the ballistic computer or PDA, fine, tell me what the total correction for windage and elevation is and let me get on with it.
If I were trying to crunch numbers manually, the target will have moved on by the time I got the correct answer. I can't hold .25 moa at 1600 meters from a field firing position anyway.
My novice shooting opinion is that at that range, most first shots are going to be misses for ranging, winds, slope, target movement, etc. anyway, better to watch point of impact closely and get a good corrected second round out before he hears the first, and don't worry about Coriolis effects.
Just my .02, now that we have heard from LR, I suspect that Gene will be along with some good points shortly.
