Re: Mil calculation
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Captain Kirk</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Need to know:
-velocity
-bullet BC (ballistic coeficiency)
-scope height above bore
Input atmospheric conditions:
-Temp
-baro pressure (or altitude)
-wind speed/direction
Now you input your distance to target (target size in inches X 27.778 devided by mil reading) and the program will come up with a "solution" in mils. As far as adjusting the scope, I dial for elevation and use a "hold" for windage, meaning you are using the horizontal crosshair left or right of the center intersection matching your mil wind correction. With the Horus system, you really dont need to dial any wind or elevation changes, all holds are using the mil grid in the reticle, thats the benifit of the Horus reticle.
The nice thing about mils is you are dealing with decimals, not fractions. Instead of someone calling a 1 1/4 MOA correction for wind, they would call a .3 mil correction. In reality, you dont need to know metric at all, you are just using a metric system for ranging and adjusting but all your measurements of target and distance can still be in inches and yards, unless you want to make a full conversion over to metric.....
