Rifle Scopes Simple Question on MIL/MIL Scopes

[TXSTDU]

I recently purchased a Falcon Menace 4-14x44 FFP and I am really happy with it.


Now for the question. I have it zeroed at 100 yards and it is sitting in Warne Tactical Rings on a Warne Tactical 20 MOA and I have ran the JBM ballistic calculator for my rifle. If I want to shoot 500 yards it says I need to adjust 2.5 MIL.

I assume all I need to adjust my turret is 25 clicks to be at 2.5 MIL or am I missing something.

Rifle is a 700 SPS Tact with FGMM 168 grn .308 WIN

You might have to correct for wind too, but other than that assuming your scope has .1 mil clicks you would be good with your jbm calculation.

Thanks for the quick answer. I thought that was right but seeing how this is my first mil scope I just wanted to double check

2.5 mils at 500 yards with a .308 and a 100 yard zero?

Have you chronographed this load in your rifle?

2.5mils seems a bit light. I bet it should be closer to 3.4 mils.

Forget clicks, they don't matter. Just dial the setting or hold over and go. 2.5 does sound pretty flat.
