I put together a scoped carbine cheat sheet that I thought some people here might find useful. I made a more generalized AR-15 version a while ago but I wanted to make one that was tailored more towards the scoped general purpose rifles, DMR's, and SPR's with LPVO's, 2.5-10's, 4-16's etc...as a quick pocket reference for pertinent information. I borrowed some elements from a data book I put together and things like the modern wind rose from here. I made it to be printed on a 8 1/2" X 11" piece of paper, laminated, and folded to fit into a pocket, admin pouch, or whatever.
I purposely kept the information basic and somewhat limited because of the limited amount of room on the sheet but I think it'll work for most purposes. It's not likely one would be doing any serious ranging with say the mrad reticle in a Vortex 1-6 but if one can bracket an IPSC for height and width the distance can get worked out close enough to get hits within 5.56 distances. The wind rose and mirage chart are to help estimate the wind speed and direction but it's predicated on knowing your basic wind holds for the rifle or gun mph. The information is for reference setting up a drop chart, doing maintenance, or evaluating a target. I hope some of you find it useful.
