I have been playing around with the shooter ready simulator. I can get my distance and windage measured correctly but am having trouble converting inches to mils. For instance if you calculate 38.3 inches of wind drift at 760 meters how many mils is that on the scope? Don't bash the hell out of me folks, I just trying to get a understanding of a few things.

1mil=10cm at 100m so at 760 1mil would be 76cm
1in=2.54cm so take 38.3inx2.54=97.282cm
Now divide 97.282/76=1.28mils
It's the long way to do it but it works. You could also look at a ballistic chart I think the one on there gives you a reference in mils for every mph of wind. So say that it says .2mils of drift for every mph of wind at 760 if the wind was 5mph from 3 or 9 o'clock then it would be as easy as multiplying the two for 1 mil of drift. If it's coming from 10-11 or 1-2 multiply the wind by .65 to use as your drift. Let us know if that helps out.

Shot a 100 out of 100 with the advise. Now all I need is some Krylon and I'll be ready to go. Ha
