[QUOTE="Stonyman88, post: 2533361, member: 121659"] Remember that one MOA is 1 inch at 100 yds. so 1 MOA at 500 yds is = to 5inches, not anything to do with bullet drop. 8 MOA at one hundred yds. is then close to 8", but at 500 yds, that is 8x5 or about 40" inches, so in mils you would need 40" dived by 3.6 would equal 11.1 mils, or look at it this way, 3.6 mils times 11.1 = 39.96 inches, Hope you understand what I am talking about.
