Rifle Scopes Target Size

[RobertHode]

I just wanted to confirm a formula I remember from somewhere.
To determine the size of a target at a known distance...multiply distance to target in yards, times the mils of object seen in scope, and then divide by 27.77 to get target size in inches?

Thanks

Object size (in) x 27.77 divided by mils = yards to target

My question was determining target size, not distance to target.

The answer is in there along with some high school algebra.

Thanks for the sage advise smart ass. As I said I just wanted to confirm the formula and see if anyone had a slicker way to figure it out.

Yeap that will work.
