The Vortex® EBR-2C MOA Reticle Designed to maximize long-distance shooting and ranging abilities, the EBR-2C MOA reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage corrections and moving target leads. Ultra-precision laser etching on the glass reticle ensures that MOA specifications are kept to the tightest tolerances possible.
MOA Subtensions The EBR-2C reticle is based on minute-of-angle (MOA) subtensions. MOA measurements are based on degrees Estimating MOA and minutes: 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes in a degree for a total of 21,600 Although 1 MOA minutes. These angular measurements is very commonly are used to estimate range and correct for corresponded to 1 inch bullet trajectory drop in riflescopes. at 100 yards, this is not quite correct: 1 MOA A minute of angle will subtend 1.05 inches at 100 yards equals 1.
Ranging MOA measurements are very effective for ranging using a simple formula. To use this formula, the shooter needs to know the size of the target or nearby object in inches. Example MOA Ranging Formulas Target Size (Inches) x 95.5 = Range (Yards) = Range (Meters) Measured MOAs Target Size (CM) x 34.37 Measured MOAs Using either the vertical or horizontal MOA scale, place the reticle on a target of known dimensions and read the number of MOAs spanned.
Elevation Holdovers Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-2C MOA reticle, or a laser rangefinder, the EBR-2C can be used for rapid holdover correction for bullet drop of the cartridge being used. To get the most benefit out of the EBR-2C equipped riflescope, Vortex Optics highly recommends shooters learn their bullet drop numbers in MOAs rather than inches.
Windage and Moving Targets The EBR-2C MOA reticle is highly effective when used for wind and moving target leads. Using the reticle for effective windage and moving target leads will require thorough knowledge of your weapons system’s ballistic performance under varying conditions and experience in reading wind strengths and target speeds. As in bullet drops, it is important for the shooter to learn a particular weapon’s windage/moving target corrections in MOAs rather than inches.
Basic windage correction using drop line on reticle Basic moving lead correction When using the reticle for elevation correction rather than dialing, the MOA marks on the center horizontal crosshair can still be used to help visually reference windage corrections. When estimating moving target leads, the MOA marks on the center horizontal crosshair can be used.
