[QUOTE="kopcicle, post: 2857248, member: 127100"] "Here we go again." He was probably waiting for me. 5" MPBR Remington Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded, 140gr 2925 fps 227 yard zero 130 yard MRT 265 yard MPBR ,2mil 300 yards -5.9" .5mil 350 yards -12" 1mil 400 yards -20.2" 1.4mil 450 Yards -30.6" 2.1mil 500 yards -43.5" 2.8mil From memory because the dope is on the rifle in the safe. I should be within a tenth in any case because this is an old friend and I really don't have to think about it much. Now for the bad news. If you want it in MOA, go fish. Who cares, a mil is a mil, there is no reason to translate it to its linear distance equivalent you don't use it. Now a word from another that said better than I could. "If you have a mixed system, you're doing it wrong and most companies understand this so they basically no longer sell a mixed systems. The shortcut in this case is 1MOA per .25 mil. Round 3.6 to 4.

Why not a useful zero? A zero that will reach 265 yards without being 2.5" above or below line of sight. Put another way a dead hold will hit a 5" gong to 265 yards and anywhere in between.
