Rifle Scope "Come up in MOA" question...

[HuntAndFish]

Acording to Winchester:
A 22-250 55gr Balstic silvertip zeroed at 100 yards will be 4.1" low at 250 yards.

So divide 4.1/2.5 to get MOA up = 1.64 MOA up adjustment needed

Divide 1.64MOA/.25MOA per click = 6.56 or 7 real world clicks to hold on at 250 yards.

Anyone check my math

That is correct. And the reason is because,

1 MOA at 100 yds is 1". (rule of thumb)
1 MOA at 250 yds is 2.5". (rule of thumb)

This is the distance an arc of 1 minute of angle subtends at that range.

 

[M.O.A.]

moa = 1" for every 100 yards so moa at 500 yards it is 5" , moa at 1000 it is 10" .


there for each click on most scopes is 1/4 moa = 4 clicks per moa.


so at 100 yards 4 clicks is 1" , and at 500 yards its 5" and 1000 yards its 10"


got it get it good


P.S. if any one needs any more help on this or using a mildot just pm me ill be glad to help

You may think you only need 0.5 moa, but unless you are shooting a 7mm STW, your comeups will likely be closer to this:
100 - 200 6 clicks
200 - 300 12 clicks
300 - 500 22 clicks
500 - 600 14 clicks
600 - 800 36 clicks
800 - 1000 44 clicks

your come ups will very from cal to cal ,and bullet to bullet, b.c. to b.c., bullet weight to bullet weight, so you have to have your ballistics for the load you are shooting like M.V. ,sight in, bullet weight, bullet b.c., and all the otheres that go in with it
