Mil Dot Master has their own site that will let you see how it works for yourself

It's really easy to use.

Re: Mildot Master
It has ranging based on a mil reticle only and conversion from inches drop or wind drift to mils and MOA for adjusting turrets.
I guess if you have a MOA reticle you could use the scales on the right window to convert to mils then range based on that (i.e., look at the mil marking that aligns with your reticle measured MOA marking).

Re: Mildot Master
Well ive seen that people have made their own for MOA. Since im using a NPR1 / moa turrets..what would be best for my set-up?
Chiller..any advise??

Re: Mildot Master
You can use the right side of the scale. Line your size of your target in inches in the bullet drop scale, with numbers of MOA as read in your scope on MOA scale. Then read the target range in yards from the range scale in the left column.

Re: Mildot Master
Ok..so itll be in plain english on the card? I will ot have to convert Mil-MOA correct?

Re: Mildot Master
Did you go to the link I sent you?
www.mildotmaster.com/testdrive.htm
You can see exactly what it looks like and can play with it. The example they have is interactive. It all lines up. You put the target size in inches on the bullet drop side, align that with the MOA as read in your scope on under "Moa" then go to the left column and read where it says "range" if you want to know Mils, it will tell you that too, that would be under the Mils side. It all lines up. You can find all those things and a little more without moving the scale any more than just aligning the two numbers and reading the appropriate column.

Re: Mildot Master
I am probably not explaining myself very well. If you want to figure out use MOA instead of MILs for ranging. Look at the Mildot Master. On the right side there is a column marked "Bullet Drop" Pretend that really says "Target Size in Inches" Align the "Target size in inches" with the appropriate "MOA" on the left as seen through your scope. Now look to the left column where it says "Target Range" that is your correct target range. An example using the Mildot master test drive would be a 9" P-Dog looks to be 1.5 MOA on the scale in your scope. You move the 9" next to to the 1.5 MOA and then read a range of about 575 yards.

Try it with a few of your own numbers. You can read your slope dope just underneath the range. If you have a slope to the target of 30 degrees you would use your dope for 495 Yards. You can find the slope by attaching a weighted string and using your MD Master to guage the slope on the scale provide on the back. You can also put your DOPE on the back of the MD Master. Its very quick and very easy once you play with it a little.

Re: Mildot Master
I have a mildot master and I don't find myself really using it at all anymore. The biggest issue I have is that it only goes down to 1mil. If you're target is under 1mil in the reticule, then the mildot master is nothing but a fan at that point. About the only thing that i'll use it for is the find the distance adjustment when shooting angles. Just dial in the range, and get the adjustment on the angle.
I almost always have a calculator with me of one form or another, and you just need to remember the easy formula to get the range. Target in inches x 27.77 divided by the number of mils.
Make sure that you study your reticule, and know every measurement on it to have any advantage it can provide you.

Re: Mildot Master
I generally use a calculator as well, however while attending a school last summer. My calculator suffered from heat stroke and died. My back up calculator was crushed on the flight going to the school and my iphone was left back in the car at home. I happened to have a Mil Dot Master in with my logbook, they take up no space and dont' need batteries. My shooting partner was very happy that I had it as his calculator had given up the ghost too. I have never had any problems making the Mil Dot Master work. It's a very versatile and reliable tool.

Wrong. Look on the right side. I know it says bullet drop but it's where you use the MM for MOA ranging and also for finer mil readings.

Rob, thank you for correcting me. I didn't know that you could do that on the right side. I thought the right side was some sort of conversion deal for figuring moa and mils for a certain measurement at a set distance. Now i've been learned on the matter.
I sure would like to have known that yesterday when I was practicing milling targets and resorted to the calculator. Now when I go to mammoth, I don't need a calculator!

Re: Mildot Master
Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure i could use it for MOA also. Thanks for the info Dust Remover!

Re: Mildot Master
Not a problem, glad to help out. I just remembered that I trained up a somewhat new shooter this weekend on the MDM and mil-ranging targets. I need to give him a ring to let him know about the right side and how he can use it to his advantage. Although he did grasp the idea and the application right away.

Re: Mildot Master
Sweet..NOMAD said in a few weeks a new card will be coming out that will be better for my ret. Maybe a MOA master of some sort? So im gonna wait and see. Again..thanks for all of your help!

Re: Mildot Master
I tried the "testdrive" a few weeks ago and gave up.
Now, playing with it on the "testdrive" I think I can help another shooter that is requesting info in MILS. I feel like I just learned a new language!
This whole MILS vs. MOA problem isn't so hard after all. If I can figure it out with this thing (with your help), anyone can.
A couple weeks ago I emailed Mildot Master and got no help when I asked about my MOA/MOA issue. Problem solved.
Thanks again.

Re: Mildot Master
OP if you are wanting to use a calculator to when using a MOA reticle, I divide the target hieght in inches by the target size in MOA as seen through the scope, then multiply that by 95.5 to get the range in Yards. There are other ways to work the problem, but that is the one I use.
So with the example I used above a 9" P-dog, looks 1.5 MOA through your scope. (9/1.5= 6) 6 X 95.5 = 573 Yards. The MilDot Master answer I gave was 575. I can guarantee you I can get a usable answer with a MD Master before you could finish entering the problem in your calculator. Some just multiply by 100 instead of 95.5,which in this problem would be (600 yards instead of 573 yards), which is close or would give you IPHY if that is what your reticle is.
I have been amazed at how quick and versatile the MD Master is. I always carry one as it always works.
Scott I am glad I could be of a little help. Rob is always much better at explaining things.
