[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1035223, member: 34084"] The drop in inches is the vertical distance at the target the bullet drops due to gravity during flight. The drop in MOA is the angle corresponding to that drop. Your scope reads angles not distances, so you need an angular value of the bullet drop. The drop in inches equals the angle times the range. Remember that 1 MOA = 1.047 inches per hundred yards (IPHY). Your range is 5 x 100 yards, so Drop (inches) = -6.57 x 1.047 x 5 = 34.39 inches (there is a small round off error). [/QUOTE]
