Ahh, that's easy.
1 mil is 3.6 inches at 100 yards. At 200 yards, it's 7.2 inches, and so forth. If you want to know why, see:
http://www.mil-dot.com/Content%20Images/The_Derivation_of_the_Range_Estimation_Equations.pdf
If you just want to fix the problem, divide the correction needed in inches by the amount which a mil is at that range. In your case, at 325 yards, 1 mil is:
3.25 * 3.6 = 11.7
So, to correct by 6 inches,
6 / 11.7 = 0.51.
So you just dial up or down by 0.5 mils. If your scope adjusts in 0.1 mil clicks that's 5 clicks.
Perhaps if you read the links about using mil scopes I posted above, it will become more clear to you.

thanks for the link...I will begin reading it right now.
So the 3.25 * 3.6 = 11.7 is the Correction factor? So 325 Yards is expressed as 3.25? so if it's at 80 yards, it's .8? 800 yards 8.0? If 11.7 is the correction factor, all I do is divide how many inches i need to adjust (say 6") divided by the 11.7 Correction Factor?
