Re: Another Mil-dot scope question
I'd say the easiest would be a Mil/Mil setup in F1 since the measurement stays the same and there is no real hard math to it...
BUT, I am new so others prolly know best.
Here is a good link that was posted in a similar thread last night incase you missed it.

I assume that your question means that if you're going to use a mildot reticle, should your scope adjustments be in milliradians - usually 0.1 mil - or in MOA.
Milliradians is much easier. If, for example, you see the impact of your bullet on the target is 0.2 mils high with a scope that adjusts in 0.1 mil clicks, you just take 2 clicks off the elevation.
If your scope adjusts in MOA, first you have to convert 0.2 mils to MOA by multiplying 0.2 by 3.438, and then adjust the scope down that many MOA.
Life is much easier if your scope adjusts in the same angular system that the reticle is graduated in, whether that's mils or MOA.

Re: Another Mil-dot scope question
Like i said this is really new to me! I guess what i am worried about is this-- Say i have a 200 yard zero and i want to go out to 600 yards. I have a ballistic program that tells me how many clicks i need to put in the scope to get there. I just dont undertand how many clicks it would be for the same senario with a metric scope. Maybe i am not looking at this correctly, but i need a place to start to try and understand all this. I have zero experience with mil-dot scopes so this probably isnt making much since. I am commiting this hole weekend to try and educate myself on this subject, so bare with me. Lee

Re: Another Mil-dot scope question
I recommend that you stop thinking in clicks.
Think in terms of the system of angular adjustments which the scope uses, which may be MOA, milliradians, or Inches Per Hundred Yards (IPHY).
That way, if you go from a scope which has 0.25-MOA clicks to one with 1 MOA clicks, you don't have to modify the way you think about your dope. You just dial the scope to the same MOA, irrespective of how many clicks that takes.
Every ballistic program I have seen has selectable output units. If you have one which only gives you MOA, then just divide the MOA by 3.438 to get the number of milliradians.
