How to dial in for LRH?

[WizardM]

I have a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 scope that is 1/4" MOA. Say if I'm planning to shoot 500 yards, when I zeroed in my rifle at 200 yards. iSnipe is telling me to adjust 6.15 MOA up. Since scope is 1l4" MOA, how do I dial in the .15 MOA?

Good question, I do the mil thing so I would like to know as well. Has to be simpler than we think. Maybe we cant get it that close? Does I snipe have a data entry point for your scopes adjustment levels?

You round to the nearest value that you have on your scope. In your case I would adjust my scope to 6.25 MOA. At 500 yards your error would be .52" high. At 1000 yards the difference would be a little over an inch. For all but the most stringent accuracy requirements this is pretty close. Some programs will allow programming of the clicks required which will round to the nearest click. This can be burdensome at the longer ranges, with it being easier to just do a mental calculation. If a greater degree of accuracy was required you could make the adjustment with your reticle, calculating the difference, or use a scope with finer adjustments, ie. 1/8 MOA click values.

See simple thanks Grayfox

As said 0.15 MOA is certainly close enough....

I'd avoid the 1/8 MOA clicks. I have one and its too many clicks to keep track of when there are animals in the field of view.

With your scope assuming your settled on a load I would be ordering a calibrated turret, if you not quite settled on a load then you can order a set of these Custom Turret Systems | Affordable Custom Turret Labels until you find a load that really flips your twinky, for their price I think their a great idea and they'll give you and insight to calibrated turrets with out costing you a Cnote, they guy is more than willing to get you what will work best for you.

+1 on what GreyFox said also
