Rifle Scopes Windage questions/Scope questions

[aznginf]

I have another few questions. How do I figure windage holdovers with my mil dot scope? Also my SWFA SS 10X scope turrets are in MOA correct? How do I convert Mils to MOA or how do I know how many "clicks" to use? I might be asking to many questions and not searching enough but I believe my search fu is weak.

Grasshopper,

JBM Ballistics

That should keep you busy and out of trouble for a while....

Re: Windage questions/Scope questions

You might find this article useful. It's oriented toward using a mildot reticle for elevation holds, but it works just as well for windage holds as well.

Calculating Holdovers and Holdunders

The amount of windage required for your load at specific ranges can be computed using JBM Ballistics, already cited. And JBM Ballistics can be set to display windage data in mils.

So just to clarify the reticle is in Mils and the turrets are in MOA?
