Learn the basic fundamentals of the Mil-Dot riflescope reticle and turret. You may have heard this before but "everything begins with a strong solid foundation". In this video you'll receive a solid foundation on the key elements of the Mil-Dot riflescope system. Using graphics that are easy to understand you'll be able to absorb the ideas and principles behind each key element in the Mil-Dot scope system quickly. The difference of this video, as opposed to others, is that I take an approach which both defines and shows the application of the key elements (reticle, turret, and distance to target) all at once.
I take a slightly unorthodox approach when teaching others about the Mil-dot reticle system as I define and integrate all the key elements of the Mil-Dot scope together. By using this approach - defining what a milliradian is, how we arrive at it, and how it's applied by the shooter when using the reticle and the scope turrets to range a target - any learner can quickly understand the interrelated elements of the Mil-Dot scope system.

Probably the best fast explanation out there
@@kalebmatthies6448 Thanks!
thanks for an actual thorough explanation, drives me nuts when people talk only mils and don't stress the unit is radians
Thank you.
This bro knows his stuff
This is the video iv been searching for. This is perhaps the one tutorial that, not only explains the conversion’s, but addresses the turret adjustment.
I know I will have to verify those adjustments myself, but I feel I’m closer to that than I have been.
Thank you and well done👏🏽👏🏽
I'm so glad that I could help you out.
Finally someone simplified this. Thank you.
Great job explaining what radians are…why did you have to muck it up by taking a metric measurement and relate it to imperial measurements? That’s where everyone gets confused. As a shooter or hunter, just stick with either system (MOA or Mils) and don’t worry about conversions unless you’re ranging with your reticle and need to convert mils to yds for bullet drop. If you’re a hardcore Mils shooter, all your bullet drops should already be calculated in Mils and not require ANY conversion to imperial units or MOA equivalents. BTW, I’m American and quite familiar with MOA and yds…but Mils is a clearly superior system when ranging using your reticle. You can use ANY unit for target size and calculate range in the same units by direct measurement of the target in Mils using a ranging reticle…then convert the resultant range to whatever units you want.
I do both just for fun. My new video is on the metric system and MRAD scope. Thanks for the insight.
I totally understand the process now thanks!!
Very good, informative video. Well explained!! Thanks
You are welcome!
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
One of the best videos about this topic, thank you very much sir, I have one question, a elevation with 1 click = 1 min, what this mean?
1 click - 1 MOA or minute-of-angle. This is referencing scopes utilizing MOA or minute-of-angle.
Here is a link that explains MOA: ua-cam.com/video/ZsA2kGGBVvQ/v-deo.htmlsi=KbxaE77ASitGIv5L
one minute is one part of a 360 deg. circle , 60 minutes in a circle, one click on a MOA scope is a 1/4 of one minute @ 100 yds., approximately or 1/4"@@broswhoknowstuff
@@douglasbattjes3991 you gotta stop replying, you do not know what you are talking about, or at least don't explain correctly, if you choose to use degrees as your measure there are 360 degrees in a circle, there are 60 arc minutes (or minutes of angle) in a degree....the word minutes is used as a degree is divided by 60....there are also 60 arc second in one arc minute (arc minutes or minutes of angle are the same thing, just different wording)
I also made a video on Minute of Angle if you would like to take a look. A very detailed explanation. @@douglasbattjes3991
for mrad/mil, may be easier to measure in metrics. e.g. 1mrad = 10cm @100m, 1click(0.1mrad) = 1cm @100m. if you have to measure in yards, stick with MOA.
One mil is not 10CM @ 100yds. is't 3.60 inches approximately, that's close to .3/8" per click on a MRAD scope @ 100 yds.
I out up a new video on using the metric systems - meter - and outline the basic decimal system as applied to MRAD scopes. Down in the description of the video I detail out the fine particulars of mil adjustments using 0.1 per 1 click from several distances to apply the ratio between linear distance and angle adjustment using an MRAD scope. Thanks.
That was great
I also find it that some people understand the tenths in decimal explanation. 0.8mils is 8/10ths. For some reason it clicks with some people to use corelate the decimal places with the tenths.
After reading your comment I finally got around to doing another video that details out the basic math of the metric systems unit of length - the meter - and cover bullet-drop with examples and how to make tenths adjustments in the turrets to get on target. There's a ton of info also in the description of the video. Thanks!
@@broswhoknowstuff great! I'll add that video to my playlist of long distance training videos I tend to send people when they ask for info. One way I started teaching people too is using 1 dollar to 10 dimes method to correlate tenths.
@@Z33Garage I like that ratio example
Great Stuff!!... i am so confused on what is called Inches... that seem complicated and have not found anyone explaining how to calculate the Bullet drop inches into turret turns
I originally had the same problem. I worked it out where I think my explanation is spot on. I put up a new video that details out the basic math ratios of meters and how it applies to bullet-drop. Look down in the description for the bullet-drop information where I detail it all out with examples. Thanks for watching!
Great video and very helpful to me as I have a couple of mil scopes, thankfully that have BOTH mil reticles and mil turrets. (folks, beware of scopes that have mil reticles and moa turrets or vice versa) But to me MOA is so much easier to use. I MOA is 1" at 100 yards, 5" at 500 yards, 10" at 1000 yards. What could be easier?
Except that is not 1" at 100 yards. It's 1.047" at 100 yards, so the further distance you shoot the more error you will have if you simply use 1" at 100 yards.
OK, 10.47" at 1000 yards. I can adjust for that.@@P0rtScann3r
True. There is a refined "regular shooters MOA" sMOA that rounds down off to "1" inch, "2" inches, as distance increasing. True MOA is 3 decimal's. At longer ranges it will affect point of impact of using sMOA for sure.
Im still confused if I zero my scope @ 100 yards , for 200 yards target home many click I should go up ??
Thinking in terms of elevation, you’ve already valued in your bullet drop when you zeroed in at 100 yards, so with a mil-dot scope with each click being 0.1 mil , to hit target center at 200 yards with wind you would move UP 1 full mil which is … 10 clicks. Each mil is a full “10” clicks.
0.1 x 10 = 1 full mil.
Can you do this in metric?
Check out my metric video.
@@broswhoknowstuff cheers thanks
I'm a little confused sorry , if one mil at a hundred yards is 3.6 inches is the same one mil at 200 yards 7.2 inches ? Basically double ? Or if I need elevation to lift say for 500 yards I would adjust the turret settings per BC so if I need say 36 inch lift I would adjust 36 clicks ? Cheers Gareth
I just read your question again. So, if your needing to adjust for a BC of 36 inches elevation at 500 yards then you will need to adjust " 2 mils" elevation. That would be, 20 clicks on a scope that is designed for " 1 click is 0.1 mil ".
With considering the aforementioned, then at 500 yards, without any BC adjustments, the adjustments would be 3.6 inches @ 100 yards, then at 500 yards it's 18 inches. I hope this helps.
Thanks for answering I really appreciate your time ! I'm still missing something and so confused I'm going mad , if one full mil = 3.6 how does 2 full clicks = 18 ? Is it simply that the further out the distance the full click in elevation is greater sorry for wasting your time
It's ok the penny just dropped , basically you just x the 3.6 by the distance so 5x3.6 = 18 so if I need 36 I would use 2 clicks
Would love to see mrad covered in metres rather than yards.
I can do that.
@@broswhoknowstuff awesome 🙏
If 1mil is 3.6 in at 100 yds is mil vale 1.8 at 50 yds
Milliradian scopes are commonly adjustable by 1/10th (0.1) mil increments. At 100 yards, a 0.1 mil click is equal to 0.36 inch, and a full mil is 3.6 inches ( 1⁄10 of a mil equals 1 centimeter at 100 meters). So at 50 yards, it is 1.8 inches.
Can you show all in mm. centimetres. For 6.5 creedmoore. 140 gr. bullet
Your asking what ? The drop for a 6.5 C with a 140 gr bullet, depends on barrel length , ammo if your looking for the drop. My 6.5 C shoots dead on at 100yds. and 1/4" low at 200 yds. Your looking for the drop, one mil will move your scope 7.2" about at 200 yds.
@@douglasbattjes3991 how much bullet drops has nothing to do with barrel length, the drop is only a function of how long bullet is in the air before hitting target...thus the speed of bullet
So odiotic to talk about inches and yards with milliradian that is optimal for metric...
