[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1071357, member: 83233"] true MOA drop = drop in inches / (1.047 * distance in yds / 100) Some folks ignore the 1.047. If so if your gun drops 45" for 500yds then 45/5=9MOA (8.6 if you use the 1.047). Skipping it gets you close enough to then confirm your true drops needed. For long range you should be confirming any of that data against real shooting since a scope may claim 1/4" per click but delivers a hair more or less (that won't be noticed till further out), plus ballistic calculators are only as good as the dope they are given. If the BC is a bit off, altitude, air pressure, humidity, velocity, etc. it all changes out at 1000yd. [/QUOTE]
