DIALING THE CORRECTION INTO THE SCOPE
The most effective way to use the estimated distance is to dial the necessary
correction into the scope using the elevation adjustment. (If your scope fea-
tures a bullet drop compensation dial, simply dial the correction directly accord-
ing to the distance marked on the elevation dial.)
1. Calculate the “drop to adjustment increment” ratio of your scope.
To do this, use the equation:
Distance to the target in yards ÷ 100 =
Inch value of each minute of angle
or
(Distance to the target in yards ÷ 100) x 2.91 =
Centimeter value of each minute of angle
2. Determine the correction necessary for the target using:
Known bullet drop for distance to target in inches ÷
Inch value of each minute of angle =
Correction to be dialed in minutes of angle
or
Known bullet drop for distance to target ÷
Centimeter value of each minute of angle =
Correction to be dialed in minutes of angle
