A question about dialing in MILS.

[WildBillG]

I have a Swaro z6 that dials .5 cm at 100 m. Now from what I have reead 1cm at 100m is one tenth of a mil. If my bullet drop chart says I need to come up 1.6 mils I would assume at 1cm at 100m I would dial 16 clicks. With my Swaro would I then need 32clicks.
My other question would then be what measurement are the clicks on most MRAD scopes?

I would suggest your do a tall target test to see what click values truly are. Some scopes are very accurate and some can vary a little. I have seen some at 95% and others 5% over. Might as well start with accurate info.

10 clicks in a mil usually if the scope is at 10th click intervals. So it would be 16 clicks. Shouldn't matter the clicks though, just dial 1.6 mils.

Most common mrad scopes are 1/10th mil increment. 1/10th at 100y is roughly .36 inches, or .39 inches at 100m.

That was what I assumed at 1/10 mil. However My scope is .5cm at 100m. To add to the funthe hash marks only go half way around the turret so I will need to count clicks. I am assuming it is ok to dial a scope as long as you can reset your zero.

However My scope is .5cm at 100m.

Your scope is .05 mil adjustment.
Using the printed scope turret labels may help you in most conditions at moderate ranges.

A .5 cm group would basically be a 1 holer. Shoot a group and measure how far the center of that group moved from zero. One shot is never enough when experimenting.

Example- 1 inch is 2.54 cm. .5 cm is less than .25 inches. I have some real accurate rifles but not one of them is better than .25" every time I pull the trigger.

Edit: specs on that scope definitely say it is 5mm at 100m per click. So, while my information is still accurate, that scope has very fine adjustments.

Yes, 32 clicks would be right. I just ran across a MIL/CM/MOA conversion chart last night in a Burris Owners manual online. I was looking up info on the XTR II and it was on page 15 of the users guide. I tried to send you the pdf file but it said it was too big.

Thank you all for your help I am going to check my scope and take some measurements. I have the CTS turret buider saved and will see if a label will fit. Not sure why Swaro put such same clicks on this scope. Sure hope it can spin around 20 revolutions or more. That is from where I amzeroed now or I wil be hard pressed to dial 600yds.

I would download the Swarovski apps and it will give you your click values...

But you need to do a tall target test. They could be off... the newer models are pretty solid.

If your scope is that much of a pain, ditch it for something more user friendly.

I think some here haved missed what I was really asking. What I wanted to know was with my scope calibrated at 1 click equal to .5cm at 100m. How much would I have to turn it to meet normal 1cm at 100m clicks. Thank you to those who understood and stated I would need twice as many clicks. I know all were trying to help and my explanation may have been poor.

I figured you knew that .5 means one half, so you'd have to double the clicks to get the same result, that's like junior high math. I was referring to having to count clicks because the marks aren't completely circumferential, forget that noise.
