[QUOTE="Mike in Texas, post: 20122, member: 1889"] 1 mil is 3.438 minutes of angle. You need to work your holdoffs from that number. Round that number to 3.5 moa because that's as accurate as you'll need to be. Next, sight your rifle for 100 yards. Compute the drop in moa at further ranges. Example; My 308 sighted at 100 yards is 9.75 moa low at 500 yards. As a mil hold I would use the top of the 3rd mil dot as my aim point and be assured of a first round hit. 9.75 / 3.5 = 2.79 moa. Top of the 3rd dot is 3moa. Close enough. Make sense? Good shooting.......................... [/QUOTE]
