This is the video iv been searching for. This is perhaps the one tutorial that, not only explains the conversion’s, but addresses the turret adjustment. I know I will have to verify those adjustments myself, but I feel I’m closer to that than I have been. Thank you and well done👏🏽👏🏽
I'm getting a lot of good feedback and so I'm going to make another to video to finish up part 2: applying it to the MRAD scope turret/reticle. Again, thanks Charles!
@@broswhoknowstuff Great thank you! I’m so new, I’m not sure what exactly I’m looking for. I’ve just been on a rabbit hole and learning as much as possible since I bought my Remington 700 in 300 win mag. It has a Viper Vortex 6-24x50 SFP MRAD scope on it. I’m taking a precision shooting class soon and I don’t want to show up to class without some basic knowledge. TH-cam algorithm does a pretty decent job of suggesting videos on its own but I will definitely watch the other video that you gave me and explore your channel even more. Thank you again!
1 click - 1 MOA or minute-of-angle. This is referencing scopes utilizing MOA or minute-of-angle. Here is a link that explains MOA: th-cam.com/video/ZsA2kGGBVvQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KbxaE77ASitGIv5L
one minute is one part of a 360 deg. circle , 60 minutes in a circle, one click on a MOA scope is a 1/4 of one minute @ 100 yds., approximately or 1/4"@@broswhoknowstuff
@@douglasbattjes3991 you gotta stop replying, you do not know what you are talking about, or at least don't explain correctly, if you choose to use degrees as your measure there are 360 degrees in a circle, there are 60 arc minutes (or minutes of angle) in a degree....the word minutes is used as a degree is divided by 60....there are also 60 arc second in one arc minute (arc minutes or minutes of angle are the same thing, just different wording)
Great job explaining what radians are…why did you have to muck it up by taking a metric measurement and relate it to imperial measurements? That’s where everyone gets confused. As a shooter or hunter, just stick with either system (MOA or Mils) and don’t worry about conversions unless you’re ranging with your reticle and need to convert mils to yds for bullet drop. If you’re a hardcore Mils shooter, all your bullet drops should already be calculated in Mils and not require ANY conversion to imperial units or MOA equivalents. BTW, I’m American and quite familiar with MOA and yds…but Mils is a clearly superior system when ranging using your reticle. You can use ANY unit for target size and calculate range in the same units by direct measurement of the target in Mils using a ranging reticle…then convert the resultant range to whatever units you want.
Hi, thanks for the video, it is very informative. I have been struggling to get the following: if my mil scope is zeroed in at 100 yd ( 90 m), what’s the standardized formula to calculate my elevation adjustments at let’s say 450 ydrs? I’d appreciate your input.
An important point to remember also is that a bullets' ballistic information (bullet drop) comes into play with the calculations later. [ I think maybe you meant to say you zeroed in your scope at 100m? If not, re-zero at 100 meters. It will make life simpler. Also, the reticle on an MRAD scope has the math built into it. ] To answer your question the best I can, for an MRAD scope (using 1 click is equal to 0.1 MIL) - the standard equation - using MILS : "one MIL at 100m is 10 cm, at 200m its 20 cm , and so forth... and at 1000m its 100 cm or 1 meter. (watch my other video on this, it may further help you out.) To keep it simple for myself this is what I do: so, at 90m take 9m/100m = 0.9. The 0.9 result at 100 meters means you move the your elevation "9" clicks on your turret just under "10" clicks for a full " 1 MIL " which is 10 clicks.
Great video and very helpful to me as I have a couple of mil scopes, thankfully that have BOTH mil reticles and mil turrets. (folks, beware of scopes that have mil reticles and moa turrets or vice versa) But to me MOA is so much easier to use. I MOA is 1" at 100 yards, 5" at 500 yards, 10" at 1000 yards. What could be easier?
Except that is not 1" at 100 yards. It's 1.047" at 100 yards, so the further distance you shoot the more error you will have if you simply use 1" at 100 yards.
True. There is a refined "regular shooters MOA" sMOA that rounds down off to "1" inch, "2" inches, as distance increasing. True MOA is 3 decimal's. At longer ranges it will affect point of impact of using sMOA for sure.
I also find it that some people understand the tenths in decimal explanation. 0.8mils is 8/10ths. For some reason it clicks with some people to use corelate the decimal places with the tenths.
After reading your comment I finally got around to doing another video that details out the basic math of the metric systems unit of length - the meter - and cover bullet-drop with examples and how to make tenths adjustments in the turrets to get on target. There's a ton of info also in the description of the video. Thanks!
@@broswhoknowstuff great! I'll add that video to my playlist of long distance training videos I tend to send people when they ask for info. One way I started teaching people too is using 1 dollar to 10 dimes method to correlate tenths.
Great Stuff!!... i am so confused on what is called Inches... that seem complicated and have not found anyone explaining how to calculate the Bullet drop inches into turret turns
I originally had the same problem. I worked it out where I think my explanation is spot on. I put up a new video that details out the basic math ratios of meters and how it applies to bullet-drop. Look down in the description for the bullet-drop information where I detail it all out with examples. Thanks for watching!
for mrad/mil, may be easier to measure in metrics. e.g. 1mrad = 10cm @100m, 1click(0.1mrad) = 1cm @100m. if you have to measure in yards, stick with MOA.
I out up a new video on using the metric systems - meter - and outline the basic decimal system as applied to MRAD scopes. Down in the description of the video I detail out the fine particulars of mil adjustments using 0.1 per 1 click from several distances to apply the ratio between linear distance and angle adjustment using an MRAD scope. Thanks.
I'm a little confused sorry , if one mil at a hundred yards is 3.6 inches is the same one mil at 200 yards 7.2 inches ? Basically double ? Or if I need elevation to lift say for 500 yards I would adjust the turret settings per BC so if I need say 36 inch lift I would adjust 36 clicks ? Cheers Gareth
I just read your question again. So, if your needing to adjust for a BC of 36 inches elevation at 500 yards then you will need to adjust " 2 mils" elevation. That would be, 20 clicks on a scope that is designed for " 1 click is 0.1 mil ". With considering the aforementioned, then at 500 yards, without any BC adjustments, the adjustments would be 3.6 inches @ 100 yards, then at 500 yards it's 18 inches. I hope this helps.
Thanks for answering I really appreciate your time ! I'm still missing something and so confused I'm going mad , if one full mil = 3.6 how does 2 full clicks = 18 ? Is it simply that the further out the distance the full click in elevation is greater sorry for wasting your time
Thinking in terms of elevation, you’ve already valued in your bullet drop when you zeroed in at 100 yards, so with a mil-dot scope with each click being 0.1 mil , to hit target center at 200 yards with wind you would move UP 1 full mil which is … 10 clicks. Each mil is a full “10” clicks. 0.1 x 10 = 1 full mil.
I just saw your comment. My apologizes for getting back to you late. Check out my new video here on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/gRjaaQCW4mw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nYIJt2LsJMZSu3xJ. You just have to put the Imperials in. 1 Mil @ 100 yards is 3.6 inches and then go from there using this video.
Milliradian scopes are commonly adjustable by 1/10th (0.1) mil increments. At 100 yards, a 0.1 mil click is equal to 0.36 inch, and a full mil is 3.6 inches ( 1⁄10 of a mil equals 1 centimeter at 100 meters). So at 50 yards, it is 1.8 inches.
thanks for an actual thorough explanation, drives me nuts when people talk only mils and don't stress the unit is radians
Thank you.
