MOA cards??

[Mark Brendemuehl]

Guys - A few questions, and I know someone on here can point me in the right direction.
I have 2 primary predator rifles. One, a Tikka T3 heavy in .308 with a Leupold VXIII LR on it. It has the bullet drop reticle in it. I shoot 150 grain Hornady bullets out of it, and it will consistantly print 1/2 inch or less groups at 100 yards.

The second rifle I like to carry is a Bushmaster Varminter in .223 with a Nikon 6x18 with fingertip adjustable turrets. This rifle has shot five shot groups into one ragged hole at 100 yards, and from a cold bore, it is flat out awesome. I shoot 55 grain ballistic tips out of it.

I have made some shots between 300 and 400 yards on varmints and predators. The thing is, I want to be able to just dial in the MOA at known distances, and I have no clue what the MOA adjustments are. I know the drop, but I am not interested in holding over the target. I want to make a range card, dial it in, and be done. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know the guns, and optics are more than capable of making shots out to mid ranges, say out to 500, 600 yards. The .308 is for sure anyway. I know once I have that info, I will be able to as well. I just need the dang info!
Thanks!
Mark

I use these JBM cards. JBM - Calculations - Trajectory μCard

I first set the information and shoot drops using Patagonia Ballistics Loadbase then I take that info and make a matching range card as a back up. You can size it up or down during print preview then I laminate it.
Works great if you don't have time or when predator calling I range some key locations and check my card to know what I'm looking at.

If you know the drop in inches....it's pretty simple to convert that to MOA.

This is an easy online calculator to use - plus you can print off the page and there's a little chart that you can cut out and tape to your rifle.

Thanks for the replies guys. I tried the JBM site and I must have been doing something wrong, as it wouldn't let me proceed. In the mean time, I checked the Hornady site to get some info and realized they had a calculator too.
Thanks for the replies again guys. I am anxious to give this a whirl.
