Put your data in and dial it on. No different than MOA but a different number.

And don't think in linear or count clicks.

Lucky you! I run mil adjust, my data is in mil for drops in my LR,but I range in yards, heh.Do what works for you.I shoot one main cartridge, know my drops to 1000 in mil for the round numbers, easy with mil.Have a cheat card on rifle, but use my Sig 2400ABS. My 338 NM,200 ZERO,needs2.2 at 500,3 at 600,4- at 700...

A handy chart. Don't mind my highlights/notes.

OK
thanks

If my load requires 8 moa at 500 yds, how many clicks on my mill scope would it require?

2.2 mils

A MIL is 1/1000 the distance, period.

The "odd" numbers come up because of our messed up standards of measurement. Using the 100yd example a mil is 0.1 yds (100yds/1000). 0.1yd is 3.6inches (0.1*36"/yd). Most mil scopes are 1/10 mil clicks which is where the 0.36" per click comes from. You can use the metric system which is easier across the board. Yards, feet, inches, Cubits, rods whatever. It's 1/1000 the distance then convert units.

Take the 8 and divide by 3.43, which is how many moa equals a mil, and you will get 2.33 or 2.3 mils. Also don't count clicks. The manufacturers put those big numbers on dials to allow you to dial faster. When you get to 8 mils will you count 80 clicks? Nope.

It's 2.37 mils if you are using true MOA. A moa is actually more than an inch and the error multiplies - 1.047"@100yds

At 500yds 0.17 mil is 3.06"

All things being equal, I think it would require about 11.1 mils.

Sorry, that was wrong. I went the wrong way. 8 moa equals approximately 40" @ 500 yards. 1 mil should be 18" @ 500 yards. 40 ÷18=2.2ish!

There is no reason for inches or any other linear anywhere. That is why your number is off. Lose linear and make life easier.
