Your question asked about MOA but i think you ment mil. One Mil is 3.62 MOA. This is used in hold over and windage. For instance. I aim at a target and fire. Then I aim one mil higher and my impact should be 3.62" higher at 100 yards 7.24" higher at 200 etc.

If you were wondering how to figure out how many MIL each dot or rather distance between dots is, that is a direct relationship. If your scope is a 24x but the manufacturer gives you only at 12x then at 24x you must divide your mil reading by 2. if at 18X then you would divide by 1.5 etc.

Then using the formula ((size in inches)*27.7777777777)/corrected mil reading(reading/2 or 1.5 or whatever) this will give you distance in yards.

I made a simple chart to go with mine. it looks like this

There I know if I am using 24X instead of 12 I either divide mil or distance by 2.

To determine exactly where your power knob should be to be exactly the right size, paint a broom stick different colors with stripes every 4 inches. Put it out at 111 yards and 4" = 1 Mil easy to find exactly where knob should be. Then I mark across the scope and dial so i can line them up again easily. PM me if you have questions.
