[QUOTE="phillietimothy, post: 478899, member: 29871"] Thanks for responding Jon A. What I was trying to do was compare the mil-dot holdover to drop at a specific range and the corresponding MOA come-up. I apologize for the convoluted math, I was trying to show that I understood the relationship between mils, moa, and different distances. Many times my misunderstanding was based on mathematical errors, I was trying to eliminate that as a possibility. I agree a reticle with half mil marks is a good thing. You are correct shooting the different ranges is the best indicator. I was hoping to use the shortest range as my zero, then try mil dot holdover. I will experiment, for now I will zero at the shortest distance and record how many MOA I need to come up for the three longer distances. Thanks again for the input, I will see if I can use the JBM software to create mil hold values for the silhouette distances 45, 66, 87, and 109 yards. I did not know I could use it for distances this small. [/QUOTE]
