[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15428, member: 99"] Hey Luke, Thanks for pointing out my reading comprehension. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] This was almost puttin me in the nut house. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I went back and reread the whole thing again and figured out how it worked. Dropping the 1.25 mil to 1.0 was the first thing I forgot you did, then you threw in the constant, which I forgot how it worked using it, **** it's been a while. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Next all the .94 mil multiples with the third didget had my brain in sever pain when there wasn't ten of them [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] when I reread it I realized you were just breaking down the .75 mil section in between the edges of the dots, duuuuh! I assumed I understood what you were doing and missed a few things to say the least. Anyway, thanks for prying my eyelids open. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] You explained it very well, but you're right, the first formula was a bit confusing and having not used the constant 27.77 for a while I forgot what the hell to even do with it. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Ok here we are now, it's say 25 yards off at most, less when it falls in the middle of the .75 mil range. Here's my thoughts on this now that I see the pros and cons, and I think the moa corallation question is of interest to you. Each 1/10th mil is equal to about .36 moa, so if you used this to range a 30 inch target and it took 1.1 mil, this equals 3.96 moa. (11*.36 = 3.96) This would indicate 757 yards when the 30" target is divided by 3.96 moa. So I guess it comes down to which formual do you want to use, 1.1/833 = range or 30/(1.1*.36) = range. I seems the .36 moa multiple wouldn't be as easy to add up in ones head like the multiple of .2 in the R2. Assuming you know the constant for the animal your hunting before hand, the 1.1/833 is a simpler calculation, not to do in your head, but simpler none the less. What do you think? It seems the 1/10th divisions equaling .2 moa is a little more precise than the .36 moa divisions of the mil-dot but I'm not sure if yours can be modified with a different power setting or not? What setting is it calibrated to range at, is it 10x? [/QUOTE]
