People were sighting in scope sighted rifles long before lasers and softwares.
Hopefully,we are done with the laser.
Ballistic softwares are fine.I figured out you have a mil scope.Thats OK.Its even good!
Most scopes(and people) are calibrated in MOA. Its just a different unit of measure.
But imagine a forum of cooks discussing baking a loaf of bread.One is thinking in Celsius,one in farenheight.One is discussing introducing steam,and one is worried about the programmable digital controls on the oven.
Beautiful,wonderful bread is baked with wood in stone ovens.The cook feels heat with is hand,sees the color,smells the bread.
Can you tell me one of the definitions of a mil? I know of two.Either will do.
One is a 1 to 1000 ratio.1 meter at 1000 meters.(The other is 1/6400 of a circle)
The "R" and "L" and the "U" and "D" refer to moving the point of imact on the target.Rigt now,master moving the point of impact a known,predictable amount.Like "I'm 15 cm low and 5 cm left,so...clickclickclick and your next shot goes where you put it.
IF you stop thinking of 100 yds,and convert to 100 meters,then 1/10 mil wil be approx 1 centimeter on the target at 100 meters.or three centimeters at 300 meters.Its an angular measurement.Think trig.
One mil up from a 100 meter zero is what the software says? OK. At 100meters,put your group center 10 cm above the aimpoint.
Now,shoot at 300 m.It will be close.Write down ,in a notebook,the ammo,weather,etc,and then record any correction you had to make.Zero precisely at 300m. Now,if you choose,set your turrets at zero,and use your dials per your software,but each time log variations.
