Notes:

1 MOA = 1.047 inch at 100 yards. For most practical purposes you can substitute inches for MOA if your scope specifies MOA at 100 yards. For example: 1/4 MOA at 100 yards = 1/4 inch at 100 yards.

1 MRAD / MIL = 10 centimeters at 100 meters, so 0.1 MRAD is 1 click at 100 meters for MIL rifle scopes. For most practical purposes you can substitute clicks for 0.1 MRAD if your scope specifies the usual 0.1MRAD at 100m. For example: 1 click at 100 meter = 1 cm at 100 meters.

Unsure about bullet drop or what adjustments you’ll need to zero at different distances?

Your best bet is to head to the range and gather some real-world data—empirical data is still the best true data.
