I was looking at Leapers scope and there mildot reticle. Theres is different I guess by looks it does look different.
I know that
100= 3.6"
75= 2.5"
50= 1.8"
25= 0.9"
All of the numbers on the left side of the screen is in yards. I know how to calculate distance....etc The thing I was wondering is it still the same formula or Leapers Scope

Not all mil-dot reticles meet the military mil-dot specification standard. The distance between the dots is the difference. I compared two off brand scopes with brand name and found the low end scopes don't meet the standard. As also with second focal plane scopes the distance, between the dots, change with magnification requiring you to know the exact mag your scope is calibrated, typically 10x only, for most common SFP type. One mil equals 1 centimeter at 10 meters. one mil equals center to center between any two mil-dots. Set a centimeter ruler out 10 meters, zoom in and out until one mil covers exactly 1 centimeter, make a witness mark on zoom ring and scope. This is your calibrated magnification point. This point is where the scope has to be set for reticle range finding.
If you're using mil-dots for hold over/under, the above really doesn't matter. What does is the magnification you chose to zero at. Always go back to your zero mag to use hold over/under dots/mil dots. You can use a different magnification, but that involves a lot of math, so most likely the target will be lost, before the firing solution is calculated and executed.

The Mildot system is standardized. It is based on only 10x magnification. Those numbers are correct, at 10x, and will transfer to any Mildot scope. The Leapers upper end wire reticle scopes are accurate to scale. The glass etched 1/2 Mildot models will split everything in half; a good feature. HTH ;)

Great to know and Ill be purchasing the 3-12x44 glass etched reticle scope
