[QUOTE="rocknwell, post: 721192, member: 35199"] Ok so I think I understand how this ranging thing works IF you know the size of the target. If I had an MOA reticle scope and my target size is x, then using the reticle, however many MOA covers the target, I take that number and plug it into the equation to come up with the distance in yards (HOT in inches/moa x 100 = distance in yards) same deal with the MIL reticle (HOT in inches/mils x 27.78 = distance in yards). and if you miss and see where you missed, you can just hold over that equal amount using your reticle subtentions. yes? but...how does ranging work if you don't know your target size? all of this is assuming you aren't using a range finder, which of course i DO plan on having one. i'm simply asking because I want to know!
