Not difficult to use mildots for holdovers, but there are a variables (such as exact bullet with ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity, altitude, etc) that you would need to plug into a ballistic calculator in order to get accurate information.
I use the trajectory calculator on the JBM Ballistics website, and simply indicate that I want the drop data in mils. Sounds like your scope's reticle is in the second focal plane, which means that not only is ranging accurate at highest power, but also the holdovers will only be applicable at the same setting.
