    Have a look at these ballistics for me please

    I'm bored and want to learn more about ballistics. I get my head around things a lot faster if I go through worked examples rather than just reading about it.

    I've put a table together for my rifle and ammo choice. I know it would be better to have a 200 metre zero for practical reasons, but I've been working from 100 metres on targets, so have a better feel for it. Having played with the numbers at my relatively short ranges, environmental data inputs don't really make any difference, but I've included it for the sake of completeness.

    I chose to use imperial units because MOA makes more sense and that's what the ballistic calculators use. The exception is wind speed because I find it hard to visualise it in mph for some reason.

    Scope adjustment is 1 click = 1/4 MOA.

    I know this is all theoretical and needs to be validated on the range. It is just part of a learning process for me.

    Any comments or glaring mistakes? Thanks.
