[QUOTE="maxF, post: 186168, member: 10318"] On multiple power scopes the mil dot is only accurate at one power setting (say 10X). It helps to measure an actual 100 yards off and use a piece of pvc with black electrical tape to measure off 36" - 10 mils or 18" - 5 mils. and mark the scope to where the 10 mils accurately sizes the 36" on the pipe at 100 yards. Otherwise your measurements will be off even if you are accurate in your reading of the scope. Also on mine the mil dots are supposed to read accurately at 10X but it goes to 25X so I can mark the scope where 10mils = 18",@100 yds., and use a 20X reading. For more accuraccy do a 20X reading and divide the reading by 1/2 to get mils to plug into the program for a more accurate reading. [/QUOTE]
