Range Report Range into mil adjustments formula?

[Thumb]

Hey all,

I have been searching the web, but haven't been able to find any info, so I wanted to post here to see if anyone can help.

Does anyone know a formula for turning bullet drop into turret adjustment for .10 mil?

I have only been able to find info for .25 moa.

any info is greatly appreciated!!

Sure assume a 100 yds zero and lets say your bullet drop @ 400 yds is 28.6".

Divide 28.6 by 4 = 7.15

Now divide 7.15 by 3.6 = 1.986 or 2.0 Mils rounding to the nearest 0.10 Mils

Let's check another figure:

Drop @ 1000 yds = 322.2"

Divide 322.2 by 10 = 32.22

32.22 divided by 3.6 = 8.95 Mils or 9.0 Mils rounding to the nearest 0.10 Mils

Bob,

<span style="font-weight: bold">THANK YOU!!!!</span>

Do you know one for wind adjustment for .10mils?

Again, thank you. I have been searching for awhile.

Thumb,

It would be the same computation:

Let's say the Wind drift in a 10 mph breeze @ 1000 yds is 73"

73/10= 7.3

7.3/3.6 = 2.027 Mils or 2.0 Mils

Thanks again!

Remember One Mil at 100 yards - 3.6 inches or 1/10 mil =.36

and the formula should be the same.

Unless you are converting your MOA Dope to Mils then you have to use 3.43 for that conversion. So if you already have dope for a rifle and you switch to a mil based scope, then take that dope and divide by 3.43

Thanks for the addition/correction.

Re: Range into mil adjustments formula?

With 1 mil being 3.6" at 100, is this info correct?
yards/ 1mil= inches
100 3.6
200 7.2
300 10.8
400 14.4
500 18
600 21.6
700 25.2
800 28.8
900 32.4
1000 36

I like my MOA/MOA setup. Less head math.

Also... MOA is a finer adjustment at 1000 yards:

.25 MOA = 2.62 inches

.10 MIL = 3.6 inches

I was under the impression that with .10, there are 10 units of measure to reach 1 mil, with .25 MOA, there are 4?

and that .10 does not equal = 3.6, it would be 1.0 equaling 3.6 at 100?

If I have this incorrect, let me know. Though, the above is my current understanding.

I personally find the mil/mil easier.

1x/100 is equal to 10x/1000 x=.1 mils so 1.0mils =3.6" at 100 yards <span style="font-weight: bold">AND</span> .1mils = 3.6" at 1000 yards
