[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 18507, member: 2245"] Right guys, forget what the US military are doing,(ranging in meters and then converting back to divisions of MOA and feet and inches to adjust for bullet drop) and move into the 21st century. mildots are possibly out of date and come from a time when the dot was a pinched piece of wire reticle. hash marks are easier to use. but mildots are ok if you already have them..and they dive divisions of a miliradian, this could be done with hash marks that would IMHO be easier ti use than dots.. but get away from this 1/4, 1/8. and all this dificult to manage divisions. range in meter and adjust in miliradians. 1 mil = 10cm @100m. 0r 1m @1000m. we use the formula target size in m x1000 divided by the target aparent size in mils.(works same for yards) a human torso is approx 1m from waist to top of head (if wearing a helmet/turban or straw hat). that means if your target covers 1 mil in your scope reticle, you target is 1000m away. if he covers 2 mils then he is 500m away. if he covers 10 mils he is at 100m, 8 mils he is 125m. 1.75 mils he is 571m away. it is so easy to do.. and have you seen the mildot master? that is tha gadget to have if you have mildots..
