Using the Mil Dot Reticle for Ranging
The Equations:
Size of target in yards X 1000 Size of Target in Mils
Size of target in inches X 27.778 Size of target in Mils
Size of target in inches X 25.4 Size of target in Mils
=Range in Yards
=Range in Yards
=Range in Meters
Example 1: Looking through the riflescope, I located a preset target that has a known size of 12”x12” square. By using the Mil Dots I measured the target to have a Mil reading of 1. What is my distance to the target?
Known size of target: 12”x 12” | 12 X 27.778 | = 333.33 Yards | |
Mil Reading: 1Mil | 1 Mil | ||
