Its that simple? Since I’m shooting the same bullet from a 6.5 creed as a 26 nosler, my wind holds are the same?All great great true points.
I’ll add wind holding if you grow to long range shooting. Mil system matches the wind bracket of your Bullet BC. Ie a bc of .42 is a 4 mph wind bracket. If wind is 4 mph it moves your Bullet .1 mil per 100 yards in distance as an example.
Speed will change it, but I think the bc for mph method generally holds true for 26-2800fpsIts that simple? Since I’m shooting the same bullet from a 6.5 creed as a 26 nosler, my wind holds are the same?
Yea I know… The poster that posted it doesn’t seem to though.Speed will change it, but I think the bc for mph method generally holds true for 26-2800fps
Stick with one system. Both work. Base 10 is less prone to math errors under stress. But, if shooting in mils you should really ditch yards too and use meters.The majority of my scopes are MOA, but I found a good deal on a mil scope. For simplicity, should I stick to MOA or would the mil scope be better for long range shooting? Long range hunting eventually being up to 1000.
^^^this^^^Neither is a sYSteM.
People that don’t have a good grasp on the foundational principles favor one over the other, simply due to ignorance. Quick winds work for both. Quick drops work for both. Mechanical elevation travel per rev is very similar for same model scopes.
Basic fact is there’s no difference between using different dimensionless angular units to incrementally approximate a non-linear trajectory.
Biggest benefit to mils is more reticle choices that are suited for contemporary “precision rifle”. Secondary market is better as well.
Followed byNo difference whatsoever no matter what anyone says.
Ergo, making an argument that there is a difference, not in what the system does, but in how that system works in your mind.Elk is 600 yards. We know 1 MOA at 600 is 6”.
Reticle says antlers are 7 MOA side to side. 42”. Really easy on the fly for me.
Taking the .36” at 100 in 1/10 or 3.6” at 100 for 1mil makes it a tad slower dealing in 3.6” vs 1”.
