[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 396418, member: 18756"] Ok, looks like the center of your group is 3.6" high at 500 yards [(2.6" + 4.6") / 2 = 3.6"] A mil is 3.6" at 100 yards, therefore it is 18" at 500 yards (3.6" x 5 = 18"), then you divide that by 10 to get the value of each of your .1 MILS, so 18"/10 = 1.8" Now, you are 3.6" high, divide 3.6" by 1.8" and it will tell you how many thenths (or clicks) you are high. 3.6/1.8 = 2, so it looks like you are .2 mils high. So, I guess you will need 1.8 MILS instead of 2 MILS for 500 yards. Oh, by the way, do yourself a favor and don't think in clicks, think in MILS. So you need 1.8 MILS, not 18 CLICKS! Hope that helps. P.S. Nothing beats putting rounds on paper to confirm, but this will get you closer to where you were before. -X3M [/QUOTE]
