[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 72305, member: 1193"] grey The -3.3", -13", -32", and the -62" are the actual drop of the bullet. If you are sighted in at 100 yds and shoot 500 yards you will need to hold over 62" or dial in 15.5 moa. I think the chart at the bottom of your link is the correction at 100 yds with a 100 yard zero. For example if you use the second dot down from the crosshair on a 100 yd target you will hit 4.5" high. third dot 7.5" high and top of the bottom post 11" high. I think, I'm a dial it in guy , not real savy with mil-dots or BDCs. Chris [/QUOTE]
