[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2277946, member: 68875"] I don't switch inches/yards to CM/meters, and every scope I own is MIL. Each .1mil click or hold is .36" @ 100 yds. You need your bullet BC, fps, and atmospheric conditions to predict drops. There is no "one size fits all" answer. Input this data into a ballistic solver program, and just dial/hold drops in MIL. MIL (MRAD) and MOA are just units of measure. 1 MOA is 1.047" @ 100 yards. Or .26175" per 1/4MOA click. 1 MIL is 3.6" @ 100 yds. Or .36" per .1MIL click. Then there is IPHY (Inches Per Hundred Yards). True .25" clicks @ 100 yards. There is also technically two measurements of MIL/MRAD. Standard MIL/MRAD and NATO MRAD. NATO MRAD is a slightly finer adjustment, but almost never used in riflescopes. Older version of March used NATO MRAD until they made the switch years ago. Then, you have the scopes that do not actually track correctly. Most scopes are not 100% accurate with their adjustments.... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
