Quoted: Can someone explain how you use a scope with a mil-dot reticle. In layman's terms please. THANKS!!!!! In layman's terms, the mil-dot is a known value, and the object that you are "milling" against is supposed to be one that you recognize or know a dimension thereof. You are comparing the angular quality of the mil-dot to a known dimension of an object. So, you have two known dimensions in your trig equation and the unknown will be the distance between the you and the object. There is only one unique distance where the angle of the mil-dot corresponds (covers up) the known dimension of the object you're milling. The link that woode87 posted is very good and is the most commonly shared one. There's also one that might still be up at snipercountry.com that is also very good. Hope this helps. |
