[QUOTE="TackDriv3r, post: 1215692, member: 95844"] I use a rangefinder mostly and dial in the correct value on the scope. I make a MOA drop chart and tape them to my rifle stocks so when I either hunt or shoot long range for fun I'll just check range and look on my stock for the values then dial in. Other option is I use IStrelok app on my IPhone and enter the correct range and wind info into the app and it will print out your information on MOA / MIL and windage values to dial in. Other option I also use to estimate range when I don't have a rangefinder is to use the hash marks on my MOAR reticles and off the top of my head I calculate using the formula ( just make sure the numbers are correct, lol ) or I use the MIL DOT Rangefinder app on the IPhone. You can use MOA or MILS on it. Just compare the number of hash marks on the scope and check the app and it tells you the range after you dial in the info then either use the drop chart on the stock or on IStrelok for MOA / MILS to dial in the scope. I prefer the drop chart taped to my stock and a rangefinder, its quicker. You can make your own MOA / MILS drop chart by using this: [url]https://www.federalpremium.com/ballistics_calculator/[/url] JMB is a great tool, check it out.
