MRAD Ranging Formulae
Inches * 27.8 / Mils = Range in Yards
Simplified Formula which is within 7 yards at 1000 yards: Inches x 28 / Mils = Range in Yards
Feet * 333 / Mils = Range in Yards
Yards * 1000 / Mils = Range in Yards
Inches x 25.4 / Mils = Range in Meters
Meters * 1000 / Mils = Range in Meters
Centimeters * 10 / Mils = Range in Meters
Millimeters / Mils = Range in Meters (damn it, we should have switched to metric!)
Where does the 27.8 conversion factor come from? We know: Yards * 1000 / Mils = Range in Yards. Divide 1000 yards by 36 inches and we get 27.8.

We can also use our MRAD reticle to determine if a target is inside our max target range. Let's say we don't want to take a shot at a deer at greater than 700 yards. We can use this version of the ranging formula:

size in inches * 27.8 / max range = mils​

18" back-to-belly * 27.8 / 700 yards = 0.7mils. If a deer measures less than 0.7mils back-to-belly then we are outside our max range of 700 yards.
So all you have to remember is 0.7mils with no behind-the-scope math required.
