    What ones? 50 or 55gr? They are almost the same. A rough guide in my 1:9 twist is:
    • 100 yards - Zero
    • 200 yards - 1.75 moa
    • 300 yards - 4.75 moa
    All from the 100 yard zero.

    I got them for 15 Euro a box for the .223 and only used them for target . Mistakenly used for hunting once and never again.

    Mil and MOA are different. I've no idea what it'll be on your crosshair if that is in mil, but if your scope is 1/8 click then its an MOA scope in which case there are 8 clicks per MOA. So multiply each number above by 8 and you'll get the amount of clicks.

    If Im you reading that right your saying

    1.75 x 8 = 14

    So 14 clicks should have me roughly on target at 200

    Correct?

    Exactly. Every 8 clicks is 1 MOA. So 14 clicks is 1.75 MOA.

    Just make sure your scope is 1/8 click value. I only say this because its odd that a hunting scope, or even a lot of target scopes, come with 1/8 click value. Normally its 1/4 click value. This would reduce your clicks by half (there, there abouts).
