[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 223409, member: 3756"] **SMALL CORRECTION** (18/3.7)*100 = 486 yards. Now, if I key it into LoadBase 2.0 or Exbal, they both say the answer is: 465 yards. That's 21 yards difference. No big deal we would say, the thing is that at 700 yards the accumulated error is big enough to miss the whole deer. Let's say 18" target size with a reading of 2.4 MOA... (18/2.4)*100=750 yards. But LoadBase says is = to 716 yards. Difference is only 34 yards... My 300 RUM 210 gr. Beger would shoot 13.8 inches higher if I adjust for 750 and it's only 716 yards. If you're lucky you just miss the whole deer. What is the problem then? Let's convert the size of the target 18" into moa. 18/1.047 = 17.19198. Now let's do the whole math again: 17.19198/2.4)*100=[B]716.3 yards[/B]. That's much better. NOW YOU CAN SHOOT! :D [/QUOTE]
