I recently attended a LR shooting seminar in Pa. and the two instructors spoke about using the Mildot- Master during matches. While I recognize the utility of this item when using a Mildot Reticle, it appears to me that Mildot-Master is only partially useful in my situation because of my use of Nightforce's NXS 5.5 X 22 and SHV 4 X14 both with MOA Reticles.(MOAR )
Is there a MOA equivalent device out there ? It seems that my only recourse it to generate multiple table with all target sizes. 
What was your reasoning for getting a MOA reticule if you're shooting long range if you planned on ranging with it? It can be done, but personally I don't care for it and I feel it isn't as accurate a ranging method. If that's what you have however, use this and I hope I'm remembering it correctly since I've used the mil relation formula exclusively... size of tgt in inches divided by the size of the tgt in MOA X 100 equals range in yards Hopefully someone can confirm that or you can look it up but I think that's correct for using a MOA reticule. Learn the pen and paper way first, then go on to using gadgets and making charts/DOPE. |

^^^What he said. The Mildot Master works with both mil and MOA equally well. I used both in matches. Disregard the "Bullet Drop" title at the top of the column and just use that right column as your main mil/MOA input. I use that side with either as it breaks down the graduations finer for both and makes your end result more accurate.
Was that Freddy and Mike you took the class with? |

Also nothing wrong with MOA as you can shoot and range just as accurate with it as mils. It's just a different way to get to the same place. |

I will be taking their two class in late April

I've never used MOA to range. |
