the table below lists one-mil widths from 100 to 600 yards, so you can calculate how many mils to hold right or left when firing
in a crosswind, or engaging a moving target.

one mil is the distance between centers of dots. it' s easy to measure in half-mils
6x
object measures half as large as 12x, so calculate the
distance, then divide by half.
Example only-use the synchronized power setting for your
scope if it is not 12x.

or even quarter-mils but with practice you can measure tenths of a mil.
One Mil At This distance (Inches)
3.6" (0.1 Yard)
7.2" (0.2 Yard)
10.8" (0.3 Yard)
14.4" (0.4 Yard)
18.0" (0.5 Yard)
21.6" (0.6 Yard)
24x
object measures twice as large as 12x,
so calculate the distance, then double it.
