Pop quiz

Help me figure out how much adjustment this is please.

Bulldozer is 120 yards away. Mil value is Half so 1 Mil is really 2.

Here it is zeroed out

Here is the total adjustment used for shooting 500 yards with the .22lr

Also I am not using the scope for this adjustment. it is all in the base.

referance Picture, 1 mil= 2 mil

I came up with 25 mil
So if 25 mil at 120 yards is 108 inches?
then 108x 500yards is 540 inches so that's 45 feet of drop?

Re: Pop quiz

That doesn't make sense unless that bulldozer is over 45 feet tall. I get just over 100 inches, which would make that bulldozer closer to 10 feet tall.

Re: Pop quiz

Sorry let me try and explane better.

The dozer is just a point of reference and is 120 yards away

Pic 1 is where my 50 yard zero is

Pic 2 is where my 500 yard zero is with the gun not moved.

Mils are correct at 12x but i have it on 6x to get more of it in view

So what i am trying to figure out is how much that movement is to see how much drop it takes to shoot 500 yards.

Gotcha.

Re: Pop quiz

Lol no shooting equipment, just looking out the window and using the roof of it as a reference point

Re: Pop quiz

Ok....
1 mil = 3.6" @ 100 yards
1 mil =4.32" @ 120 yards

I read 10 MILS difference between your 2 pictures
4.32" x 10 = 43.2" @ 12x
4.32" x 20 =86.4" @ 6x
86.4" @ 120 yards
86.4" x 5 (500 yards) = 432" of Bullet Drop

Is that what your looking for?

Re: Pop quiz

I'm new to reticle ranging so bear with me but...

Couldn't you just get a total mil-reading of the different zeroes (~25mils +/-) and then just apply that to 500yds directly rather than converting mils to inches at 120yds THEN to 500yds?

If all it is essentially an angle measurement, I see no point in adding a step.

Yes, I read 12.5 Mil from roof to the bottom of that hub

Re: Pop quiz

1 mil @ 100 yd = 3.6"
X 25 = 90" @ 100 yd
X 5 = 450" @ 500.
That 120 yard reference is just adding confusion. It confused me the first time around, now I see what you're trying to do.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Why are you shooting at tractors?

Re: Pop quiz

25mil @ 120yds = 20.8mil @ 100yds (25/120 x 100)

20.8mil x 3.6" x 5 = 374" at 500 yds

Re: Pop quiz

That's backwards, think about it. If something measures 25 mils at 120 and it gets closer to you it will appear larger. The math in my last post is correct, keep it simple!!!

Re: Pop quiz

If you absolutely need to include that 120 yard reference point, it works like this:
1 mil @ 100y = 3.6"
25 mils @ 100 = 90"
X 1.2 for 120y = 108"
Here's where people are getting confused. 500/120 = 4.1667. You guys keep using 5 with the 120 yard reading.
108" X 4.1667 = 450" at 500y.

or 37.5 feet.

Re: Pop quiz

If you could move the bulldozer to 100 yards it would make things easier.
