I have an ongoing project about high visibility turrets.
I purposely bought a scope with MOA turrets and a MIL speciality reticle in order to find a workable solution. Allthough the MIL/MIL combination is by far the best (1 MIL will always be 10 clicks regardless of distance) the MOA/MIL combinations can also be made to work very well as long as you count 14 clicks to the MIL. This is true as long as you keep the reticle in the first focal plane. Second focal plane should be avoided if you want a speciality reticle.
I'm putting the trajectory on the elevation turret and this trajectory is calibrated to my shooting conditions. Any changes to this atmosphere is corrected for with a small fieldcard - the end result is just as accurate as any PDA and quite a bit faster.
The windage turret has simply the horisontal reticle line depicted on it. Observed bullet strike is correlated to the windage turret and a second shot can be made very quickly without counting clicks.
