at what magnification is the mil dot 1:1 where i can use it for milling on the NF 3.5-15 x 50 NXS? i read the 5.5 - 22x is true at 22x and then double at 11x and then quadruple at 5.5x, so where do the 3.5-15x fall into this?
thanks </div></div>
where did you read that about changing powers and the conversion factors? I'd like to read that article.
Thanks </div></div>
It's simple math.
If it is 1:1 at 22x, when you cut the magnification in half (11x), you will need to multiply your mil reading by 2. If you cut it in 1/4 (5.5x), you will need to multiply your mil reading by 4.
For example. Let's say you're milling at 22x, the magnification for 1:1 on the NF 5.5-22x, and your target is 2 mils. When you cut the magnification in half or quarter, because the reticle does not change in size, that same target will be 1 mil at 11x, and 1/2 at 5.5x.
