If your mildot scope is true in 10x what is the distance between each mildot at 10 yds or 20yds? Reason I'm asking is because the marking on the power ring may be off slightly and I want to find out where is my ring true at
True mil dot

Awesome answer C_M_Shooter!!
Or.... distance in yards (divided by) 100 (times 3.6) = how much each mildot represents.
Example: 25 yards....
25/100 equals 0.25
0.25 times 3.6 equals 0.9 inches
Each mildot equals 0.9 inches at 25 yards.

Another way to look at it is... The distance from the left side of one dot to the left side of the next dot ..or right side to right side. That may be easier to account than the centers of the dots

So just one more time. So if a scope is supposed to be true at let's say in 10x and the distance let's say is 14yds. The distance from the center of 1 mil dot to the center of the next mildot will be 1/2" on a scope's true mildot calibration correct?

Get benched, use a yard stick or fine ruler at all distances you need to know on preferred magnification.
Not every scope is true at 10x but once you know where it is true at 100 yards you can divide distances.
They also have mil-quad finer hash marks or very defined 0.1 mil outlined hollow diamonds as mil markings that don’t obscure your POA.

For YEARS in AAFTA Field target ( Hunter Class ) we were limited to 12X
Our way of making sure we were at 12x and to validate our DOPE done on chairgun, the test was 100 FEET and a ruler / yard stick.
At a true 12X you calibrated your view ( Adjusting mag +/- ) of the ruler at the 100 feet to view as ONE INCH PER MIL-DOT.
Just a quick FYI ....
