Optics reticle terminology

[Snuby642]

I have a ballistic calculator that gives me 4 choices of reticle .
Milldot army and usmc. Niteforce moa (i wish) and pso.
I dont know what pso. Means .
The optics I'm working on at the moment are plain duplex types some illuminated. .
I can only guess its holographic or red dot?

 

[...]

Im assuming they are talking about the russian pso-1 scope

Which calculator are you running? Those 4 options seem pretty limited for an app that bothers to include a reticle function. I haven't used Strelok in years but they had a huge reticle library

It's sniper calculator for android from milsistemika.
I havent gotten around to downloading full app, but i will its about 10$
​​​​​Was waiting to see if i got a new tablet to put it on first.
I like it better than the stralok. And think your right about the Russian scope.
Will default to Niteforce moa.. for now.

A lot of people on here talk about the JBM Ballistics calculator. I use it every time I shoot and it is right on with my caliber and hand load data

I agree JBM is the bomb I refer to thier site a lot.
​​​​​​especially the g1 to g7 converter for factory stuff.
I needed a transportable application for my phone for field use.
Changing winds, direction and angles.
I paid for the full app 10 $ and am happy so far.
Will go out this week to varify some settings.
It opens your mind to things like spin drift at 100yd, yes with subs.
I was chasing 1 or 2 clicks for 2 years with 300 blackout subsonic.
maddening i shit you not (newbie) toddler i know!

So far the milsystemika. Sniper calculator has saved me more in ammo than i paid for it.
I will test it against other's as soon as i have enough data with several calibers and make a post.

In the end JBM is great stuff.
