i was wondering what is a good formula to help with how to use the mils in a scope, now i know this is a dumbass question but i am new to using mildot scopes and have always guessed where to shoot and then would adjust from there but i have a leupold mark 4 scope mildot 1/4 moa but cant seem to find a good formula to use to range out my targets then dope it out on the scope any help would be much appreciated, before i would just mark down in a data book where the hit was and adjust my scope from there but i want to advance and know how to range and dope out my target.

The question is not dumb.

Re: how to use formula
ok thanks guys very much appreciated, now i have just one more question and it is that i do not know how but after i figure that dope out how do i use it to adjust the scope elevation and what about windage, i feel pretty stupid asking these questions cause i have been shooting a long time but instead of guessing and then shooting and then re adjusting the scope to where bullet impacts target i would like to be professional and know how

Go to Mildot.Com and play the game, P.S. it saves wasting bullets.

First a few questions.
MIL or MOA (do the knobs match the reticle)
Type of Scope FFP or SFP
if FFP no difference. If SFP set it at the correct magnification
do you know the velocity of your bullet?
do you know what bullt you are using?
Canted base?
Height above bore?
JBM this will get you a start then you need to get DOPE (Data Obtained Prior Engagement)
