So I was at the range this past weekend trying to get my AR15 to print properly on paper at roughly 25m
One of the range masters was kind enough to help me zero my rifle, and had mentioned the translation of "mils" and the clicks of my aperture sight for windage and elevation.
My problem is that I don't truly understand how this translates for long distance shooting.
For example, I was told "x" clicks would translate at 25m for roughly half an inch? But at 300m that would shift the PoI roughly 2"-3".
I think what I'm really trying to grasp is how much each individual click on my rifles irons will move the PoI of my rounds. Is there an equation I can use to determine this? How does this apply to scopes with mil dots and how do I read such scopes? I've tried google-fu'ing things like this and unfortunately I just get even more confused reading articles and forum posts on this topic.
