[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2281460, member: 113003"] The easiest way for me to interpret and apply with any scope is to stick with inches and yards...because that’s what I’ve always done. I own two different kind of scopes.....starting at 100yds, one scope (MOA based) is 1/4” per click........the other (Mil based) is 1/3” per click. Of course the actual movement is slightly more but the calculator will do the math for us as the distances change. Moving on, at 200yds I simply double the click measurement......so the MOA scope= 1/2” per click while the mil scope is 2/3” per click. -300yds (I triple the original click value) so MOA= 3/4” per click, Mil scope= 1”/click -400yds (original click value times 4) MOA=1”/click, Mil= 1 1/3”/click There are many ballistic calculators available, and you can input your specific data and it will do the drops for you. Last and most important, verify those drops out to your max yardage...... I’m sure converting everything to Mil would be a great way to go....but the one thing that doesn’t seem to be willing (to convert) is an old brain that’s been working in inch/yard mode for the last 40 years. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
