I have a scope with mil dots. They are not used for ranging. The scope is on my varmint rifle and the mil dots are used as additional sighting spots. I know on 20X, which is my preferred magnification for varmint hunting the first dot up is dead on at 100 yards. The crosshair is on at 200 yards the first dot down works for 300 yards and 400 yards. The next one down works for 500 yards.
Ranging with mil dots when we have great range finders seems silly.
