You can't go by what they're telling you 3 clicks 4 clicks 5 clicks whatever on here everything determined on your rifle caliber and your bullet how fast are the bullet flying etc

Some post on this site absolutely amaze me, How would you know you don't understand until you try it?
I learned mils from good ole Uncle Sam... Was an airborne mortar gunner, mils are very easy just use a phone app. I've found "Bullet Drop" VERY fast and easy!!! Don't over think it...

This is the most importand read I have made in years. I had no idea that milrads made any sense at all. I have just assumed some crazy person selected 36" from a random sample. This should be engraved in gold and put in a vault. None of my reading ever explained it to me that way. They just explained that milrads was used for scopes made for them and vice versa.

Pm Me with your email and I can send you an excel document that shows actual drop in inches, moa and mil drop, and clicks for each. The more data on environmentals, velocity, scope height, etc you can send me the less I'd have to guess at and the more accurate it'd be.

this should work 100 Speer hp B C 2.0 to 2.1 at 3100 fps.
yards mil corr. inch drop
100 ZERO Zero
200 .9 mil 3.5 in
300 1.3 mil 14.1 in
400 2.5 mil 35 in
500 3.8 mil 71 in
this is the second chart . the first one I forgot to correct for range.
This should work for most hollow point varmint bullets . if you use Amax drops will be a little less.

A super-handy place to start when you are using a relatively flat-shooting rifle like a 6.5 Creed (with like 130s or 140s) is...
Yards Elevation adjustment (approximately)
100 Zero
300 1.0 mils up
400 Another .8 mils up (1.8)
500 Another .8 mils up (2.6)
600 Another .8 mils up (3.4)
(You'll see this will often be +/- .1 or .2 mil)
With cartridges or bullets that are more or less streamlined, Weoponized Math may be your friend because gravity is a pretty constant force

First Streloc, I dislike autocorrect. Using milrad is easier to function with again just meters it is faster in your head. Easier to est. range when the laser range finder will not function because of conditions or oops the batteries are low or died. Now with this said I have both MOA and MILRAD scopes not that hard to go back and forth. Trying to convert to thinking scope dope into just one or the other ouch. Oh small label on scope MOA or MIL also speeds things up a bit.

best way to explain.. i passed from moa to mils.. and the easiest way is have everything in cm and mt.. and when a scole is 1/10 of a mil everything becomes easier. 1/ 10 is 1 cm at 100 meters. lol not for you but to who doesn't know!!!
At close range meters and yards are about the same.
What you have to know in this chart is that at 1000 yards it is only 914.4 meters.
So just don't call yards and meters the same thing. 1000 yards is closer to 900 meters. That's a big difference in drop.

I think a lot of are confused Mil rads is not metric, it's decimal, in other words it's in increments of 10 if you go on the net there is videos that explain it.JBM calculations is also on the net and free and will let you work out your drop charts in Mil Rads,MOA,IPHY and CMHM,that's life made easy.The bullet library is also pretty vast, happy browsing.
There's no such thing as inches in a scope. Moa is really .26 even if it says 1/4click and .1mil is .36
Moa and mil are just two different ways to measure the arc of a circle. Neither unit corresponds to meters and yards so setup your ballistic app and rangefinder to whatever your preference is. Set up a solid 100m or yards zero and go from there. Best thing to do is get your velocity from the muzzle via lab radar or magneto speed. You can use what's on the box but don't expect great results past 400. When you miss don't think in terms of feet/yards/meters you have a ruler (reticle)right in front of your eyeball. If you are off to the right by 1 mil adjust by 1 mil.

If you use a laptop or smart phone for many things in your life. This is the time to put a ballistic app on whatever it is you typically use. StrelokPro is good for the iphone.
If you want to old school it with a drop chart on your stock, Weekend Worrier has it nailed.
