I don't mind the MIL/yards or MOA/meters as it is just an angular adjustment based on a distance. What is tricky is the MIL based reticle with MOA based adjustments.
There is a work around though - with a 2nd focal plane reticle you can adjust the scope power until the reticle matchs a MOA based scale. With @GWH example with a MIL based reticle true at 14x then 1MIL on the reticle will be:
- 2MOA at 24x
- 3MOA at 16x
- 4MOA at 12x
Personally I would set the scope on one of these powers instead of automatically using the highest scope power so I can "measure the fall of shot correction using the reticle and adjust from there. Far more helpful when dialling a windage or holding a windage correction.
To adjust for a target past the usable elevation adjustment in the scope I would do this - Lets say I needed 30.75MOA for my bullet to hit a target at 1000m but I only had enough elevation to dial 28MOA. I would dial 27.75MOA and then set the scope to 16x and use the first MILDOT under the center of the reticle i.e. 27.75 + 3.0 = 30.75. To give me more usable click adjustment range at that distance I could also dial 24.75MOA and, with the scope set on 16x, use the second MILDOT under the center of the reticle.
