APPENDIX: MIL DOT RANGING & HOLDOVER EXAMPLES Example 2: Take the same size target but now the Mil reading is .75 (from crosshair intersection to bottom of first Mil Dot). Known size of target: 12"x 12" Mil Reading: .75 Mil 12 X 27.778 = 444.44 Yards .75 Mil Converting Trajectory Data to Mil Holdovers To calculate holdovers you must first obtain your round's trajectory data. Look at the ammunition manufacturer's website, in a manufacturer's brochure, or use a ballistic software program. You will need the Bullet Path data for a 100-yard zero, in hundred-yard increments. The following ballistic information example refers to the Federal .308 168-gr. BTHP Match Round and a 100-yard zero. The left column lists the cartridge's trajectory in inches at 100-yard increments. The next column contains the mil-size in inches at these same distances. Divide the trajectory by the mil size at each distance to find the holdover in Mils. 28
