Re: New MLR scope
It is much simpler, I too am a recent convert and will not be going back to MOA any time soon!
Go to JBM ballistics online and make a trajectory card, I use the trajectory simplified ballistic calculator, you can have the columns read in mil or moa. What I really like about mil on mil is how the columns on the dope chart are simpler and line up better, so they are easier to read under stress.
Which scope did you get?

NSX 3.5-15x50 mil-mil. Bought it on the hide. For a SAC that I bought on the hide.

Re: New MLR scope
It's very simple,
A mil is a mil not matter the range, if you see the round needs to move 1 mil at 833 yards or 1 mil at 100 yards sighting the rifle in, that is your answer, move the reticle or scope 1 mil.
The reticle is a ruler, it measures in mils, the first short line is .5 mils, the full lines are 1 mil. You break up the space between the lines in 1/10th the same as your turret adjusts so it matches up perfectly.
Shoot it and enjoy and just think in mils, nothing else, that is the easiest way to go.

Re: New MLR scope
It is soooo much easier.
Lowlight, it sounds like Rangewalker has a second focal plane, so he would have to be on 15x to get an accurate measurement with his reticle correct?

Re: New MLR scope
after a little research i think i have this down, I'll be heading to the range Friday to zero and test it out, Hopefully I'll have a good report when i get back. Luckily my Iphone app, has the conversion to mil. Thanks for the Help.
