There are lots of other reticles like Tactical Milling Reticles, that people can make loads that hit at certain lines, or they know which line it hits at, at what distance. Either way, this isn't exactly what I'm asking man, that's not necessarily how a Tactical Milling Reticle, Mil dot Reticle, etc are supposed to be used. Even so, there are reticles that measure in milliradians, IPHY (inches per hundred yards), True MOA (minute of angle), etc. These are reticles that have evenly spaced lines, true BDC reticles do NOT have evenly spaced lines in the reticles. Either way, I need to know how the sight is calibrated in order to help the OP with using the ranging marks in the scope.

I dig that, and I know you are a precision shooter and know what you are talking about while I patently do not.
The OP asked for laymans terms, and in all honesty he has got a maybe ~$75 scope. He has already said he doesnt understand the mumbo jumbo instructions that came with it, so i doubt he will understand what you are saying. And i doubt highly this is on a precision rifle shooting hand loads of specific weight and FPS, or else he wouldnt have this cheapo scope and be asking this Q in this way. I further doubt he will be shooting out past 300 yards.
These are all asumptions, and I can totally be wrong.
