Thread: Determining mil value at different magnification??

Hey guys,

One of my scopes has a mildot reticle, which ive never really used before. Ive dialed it successfully to 750 yards but in preparation for the Toby shoot im looking to use the reticle as well as dialing, as dont think ill have enough on the dial to get to 1000?

I know that 1 mil is approx 3.44 MOA, however the scope has accurate mil value at 14x, and i want to be able to use max mag of 20x

Is there anyway to calculate what the mil value will be when scope on 20x? Or i guess its just best (and simplest) to just set to 20x, and shoot a group at 100 using the centre of reticle, then shoot another group holding 1 or 2 mil holdover on same aim point on target and measure how much its moved to calculate the MOA value that one mildot is on 20x
