The biggest factor is knowing the size of the target you are engaging.
If I was targeting deer, 18 inches from its back to the bottom of its chest would be the gauge I would use but for simplicity I would convert 18" to yards if I was using a mil reticle and ranging in yards. Target size, in this case .5 yards x 1000 divided by mils = range. Example: .5 yds. x 1000 = 500 divided by .87 mils as measured with reticle = 575 yards.
So in reality using a moa reticle would basically be the same but using different numbers. Example: 18 inches x 95.5 = divided by 3 moa = 573 yards.
I hope this was what you were questioning .
