Metric (cm) angle measurements

[Barkie]

I have a S&B PM2 12-50x56 with 0.25cm turret adjustments.
Now I know all about the old debates around MRAD and MOA, whether it's about which one is better or understanding the two angular "break-up's". My question is not about that.

How do I relate the metric scope adjustments (in this scopes case: 1 click = 0.25cm) to MRAD or MOA? The reason I'm asking is due to the ballistic calculater apps out there. I am using the KAC Bullet Flight Level 2, version 4.6 app. I am yet to discover a ballistic calculater app that calculates in metrics.
Or am I missing something?

Basically, each click is .025 mil.

.1 mil @ 100m = 1cm so .25cm = .025 mil

Your software should allow you to input the turret value as .025 mil

Also, your calculator will probably still spit out something like 6.5mi.

Every “10” on your turret will be 1 mil.

So 6.5mil would be “65” on your turrets.

3mil would be 30. 4.5mil would be 45, etc etc

Your turret should have every single digit labeled like

1 2 3 4 5, etc etc

Each of those numbers is the same a .1mil

Then it should have hashes for every quarter of a tenth or .025mil.

For PRS style matches, ignore the hashes or .025 and just pay attention to the labeled numbers and use the 10’s version as above. For more precise target matches, you can use the .025 clicks to make smaller adjustments.

But for steel, just use every 10 as a full mil and each labeled single digit as .1 mil.

Thank you for your expl, but I am still confused....or stupid!
The adjustments on this scope is 2.5 millimetres / click.
4 clicks = 1 centimeter.

What it's probably referencing is 4 clicks = 1cm at 100m the old S&B scopes often were labeled 1click = 1cm / 100m

Yes. So it’s either going to be labeled 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,4,6,8,10. With large hash marks at 1 3 5 7 9

1cm @ 100m = .1 mil = the turrets are in .025 mil clicks

So, if I set my calculater to .025/click then it should spill out the correct turret adjustment?

It’s likely still going to give you a solutions such as:

6.5 mils

On your optic, that would be “65”

 

[Dthomas3523]

In your picture “32” is 3.2 mils
