    Not sure what it is your asking or what "calibration" you mean ?

    The hold over is whatever chairgun says for the scope mag you select, the only time you need "true" is if you're trying to use the dots to range find & if it's "true" at 10x you can range find on a 3-9x at 5x using twice the number of dots.

    Purely for ease of maths I like to keep mil dots metric so at "true" 1 dot is 1m at 1000m, 10cm at 100m or 1cm at 10m.

    At half true (5x on a 10x true scope) 1 dot would be 2m at 1000m, 20cm at 100m or 2cm at 10m. (1/2 the mag so twice as much per dot).

    edit; sorry I got that wrong first time now corrected.
