Laser range finders are a great piece of equipment to have in your kit for precision rifle work, but if you have a milliradian based reticle it is good to know how to use if for when the laser doesn't do the trick.
Here are some good formulas to know for calculating your distance with your reticle:
1- Height of target in Yards (multiplied by) 1000 (divided by) Mils measured of target (equals your) Range to target in Yards
2- Height of target in Inches (multiplied by) 27.77 (divided by) Mils measured of target (equals your) Range to target in Yards
3- Height of target in Inches (multiplied by) 25.4 (divided by) Mils measured of target (equals your) Range to target in Meters
4- Height of target in Meters (multiplied by) 1000 (divided by) Mils measured of target (equals your) Range to target in Meters
5- Height of target in CM (multiplied by) 10 (divided by) Mils measured of target (equals your) Range to target in Meters
