Okay, really starting to like my Zeiss 4.5-44. Its a mil-dot and have tested it out to a bit past 400, really do like it.

So, now I want to make a drop chart of sorts, and wanted someone to check my math. I got the subtension sheet for the scope. Basically the mildot is accurate and set to 10 power.

So, according to this a mil measurement at 100 meters is 10cm, at 100 yards its 3.6". Stick with me

So I want to build my reticle in AutoCAD, so if I draw the reticle with the 10cm spacing, per the subtension sheet I should be good.

When I enter all the load data etc, into my ballistic caculator and set it to mil-radians, at 300 yards I need .64 of adjustment. So, if I move a decimal and offset 6.4 cm's this should be my mark for 300 yards?

Still with me, sound correct?

If I understand you to mean 10 cm between dots, center-to-center, than yes, it sounds correct to me.
All the best.
