I was wondering what magnification was needed on close, mid range, and 1,000 yd shots for the hash marks to work correctly? I have the 5-20 original husky.

Re: How to use the wind hash marks? ?????
Don't know much about the Huskemaw scopes, but I assume they are second focal plane (sfp) scopes. If that is the case, then the answer is probably going to be at the highest magnification - in your case 20X. Most manufacturers of sfp scopes base their reticle accuaracy on the highest possible power. Their are a few exceptions, so read the owners manual or check their website.
With first focal plane (ffp) scopes, you don't have to worry about power setting. The are dead on at any power range - because the reticle is situated in the ffp.

I want to say at 10x each line is 4moa and on 20x each line is 2moa. I think!

Yes. When set at 20x, each hash is 1 MOA, at 10x each hash is 2 MOA. Additionally, the vertical height of each hash mark is also calibrated to a known height in inches for use as a back up ranging capability.
