[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1176479, member: 48559"] First tip: don't think in terms of "clicks". Use one of the ballistic calculators mentioned above, but start thinking in terms of "minutes of angle". Your scope apparently is calibrated in minutes of angle (generally rounded off to approximately 1 inch per hundred yards, and your scope moves 1/4 MOA per "click"). Thinking about it in MOA simplifies the process. If the program says 25.5 MOA elevation at 1000 yards, you simply dial 25 and a half MOA on your turret- instead of figuring out how many inches of drop it is at the distance, then having to calculate how many clicks that is and so on. Welcome to your new addiction. [/QUOTE]
