[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 20144, member: 1133"] Another way to calculate it is to convert bullet drop at each range to its equivalent "inch per 100 yds." measurement by dividing the drop by its corresponding range in 100 yd. intervals. i.e., say 1200 yds. = 120"-- so 120/12=10", then divide the equivalent 100 yd. mil measurement in inches (3.6) into that to find out which mil-dot to hold for-- 10/3.6= 2.75 mils. Reworking the equation should give the fillowing from your figures: .5 mil (1115)= -20" (approximately) 1.0 mil (1135)= -41" 1.5 (1175)= -62"-- etc. 5.0 mil (1270)= -226" IF i have my math correct..?
