one click = 1cm at what distance?
1cm at 100m
The reticle and the turrets should match.

The Leupold mil dot and TMR are both milliradian (mr) based reticles.

The M4 turret is 0.5 cm at 100m (0.05mr/click). The M5 turret is 1.0 cm at 100m (0.1mr/click).

It's best to have the reticle and turrets in the same unit (either MOA, IPHY, or milliradians).

Yes, the reticle matters and, in part, it's a personal choice that depends on what you want to do with it.
