[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 743741, member: 40654"] Only way I could really tie the 0.5cm thing @ 100m to any value relating to yards was by figuring "mils" into it... one miliradian @ 100Yards is actually 3.6" Obviously then you get a 0.36 value/the same as what a 0.1milrad click equates to* (relating to scopes like schmidt & bender/hensoldt etc) which are typically 1cm/100m values... pretty simply from there, for 0.5cm scopes @ 100m it works out to a 0.18" value per click at 100 (yards) ...not the 0.196 you get when converting that 0.5cm to inches* (like a person might think) Those two values give you two VERY different charts downrange** As frustrated as I made myself over the last number of years, with those 0.5cm/100m clicks, and wanting to stick with yardages for ranging (and not complicate things any worse-yet) I thought it be worth bringing up.. I nearly sold my Zeiss just because I had such difficult time wrapping my head around it! I'm quite certain this is all correct, it seems to have worked alryt in my case.
