Rifle Scopes School Me On The Reticle/Turret

[Mattrmvpd]

Ok... I have been moving from MOA scopes over to the Vortex EBR line with the .1cm turrets.

I sighted in at 100 yards and found that I still have 3 FULL revolutions in upward elevation left in the scope.

I am NEW to this reticle in the Vortex and the turrets.

I need to know from those that do know... what is a good set of numbers for dope to 1K and how do I translate it from .1cm... ( I am used to knowing the MOA #'s as my setup was approximately 36 MOA to 1K)

Any help on getting this info down to learn would be GREAT..

Rifle Info:

18" and a 20" Rem. 700 PSS in .308
175 Black Hills or my reload that mimics it (2600-2650 fps)

Thanks,
Matt

.1cm turrets? u mean .1 mil? the ebr's i know/have seen are .1 mil ...of course it depends on your location and enviromental factors but where im at (only about 20 above sea level), it requires 10.75 mil to get me to 1000 with 175s moving at that velocity

.1 mil = .36" @ 100 yds...its linear all the way out from there...3.6 @ 1000

The easiest way is just to change the setting in your ballistics program from 0.25 moa to 0.1 mil instead of trying to do conversions manually.

36 MOA is 10.4 mils. 1 mil = 3.44 MOA so just divide your MOA data by 3.44.

Sorry.. I meant .1mil. Work.. long day... My brain is turning off..

Thanks ALL of you for the info.

Matt.

Head on over to: JBM Ballistics and either choose a 'Trajectory Calculator' or 'Range Card Calculator' and then enter all your data therein... and it should give you a very good approximation of your bullet ballistics at your altitude/pressure/temperature/humidity (Density Altitude) location.
