[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 117263, member: 3756"] Dear Eaglet, so,this formula is working the same for 100 or 900 yrds. <font color="blue">That's correct. </font> for examples: I know ar 100yrds 1 mil = 3.5 (round mil) or 3.6 (the other one), and the distance between mils is [email="3.5@100yrd."]3.5@100yrd.[/email] but at 200yrd the distance between 2 mils is 3.5x2=7inch and so on at different distances. <font color="blue">At 200 yards 1 Mil = 7.2", 2 Mils = 14.4" </font>, <font color="red">following yout train of thought, yes one Mil = 3.6" at 100 yrds, 7.2" at 200 yrds, 10.8" at 300 yards and so on untill your get 36" at 1000 yards. </font> but in ballistic chart for different ammunition at different distances I have to use the "MOA correction"/3.4384=X mils at that distances. That is right? <font color="blue">That's correct, unless you find drop charts that will let you choose wheather you want your info in Mildots or MOAs. Exbal which many of us here use in our pocket pc's would allow us to get one or the other. </font> And about the reading the distance between 2 mils at different distances IS NOT APPLYING IN OUR CASES. <font color="blue">Not quite following you. </font> jUST LET ME KNOW IF I GOT IT RIGHT. All i have to do is to use 3.5 or <font color="red"> 3.6 </font> inches for mils in function of the scope what I used. 1 moa = 1.047" 1 mildot = 3.6" so... 3.6/1.047 = 3.4384 moaS Per mildot Now, lets say you need to go up 11.75 moa's and you want to use your mildots. 11.75/3.4384 = 3.42 mildots... just use 3.5 mildots. If you have mildots and you want to convert it to moas just multiply for 3.4384. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
