Great video! I honestly didn't realize how simple this is. All my scopes are Mil Dot but I have a laser range finder and I never have put much thought into this until recently.
Well you are right and everybody thinks or understands the same. You know the size of the target and figure-out how many Mill-Dots it fills. But you can think it in a completely opposite logic. With a duplex cross-hair reticle, estimate the size of the target in between the fat and the thin lines. Take notes, fill a table and you're done!!!
I have a 6-24 variable objective scope, what zoom do I do this on? I have heard that mildots were designed originally to measure distance at 10* zoom??

Fantastic instructional video.

max zoom unless otherwise stated by manufacturer.
ie: my Vortex 6-24x50 Crossfire is set at 18 not 24 for max magnification to measure.
