Ive never taken much notice of CDS dials before, I have a couple but have always left them "unclaimed" and been happy enough to dial MOA.
But I have this one on a clients rifle and need to ensure Im reading it correctly!
Attachment 269326
So Norma 143 gn Bondstrike at 2953 for a start.
100M zero?? At 13 degrees??
Range in yards?? Clicks 1/4 MOA ??
If I dial it to 400 thats 22 clicks. But stelok says 23.6 (and thats not accounting for the actual ammo velocity being way off, but I can deal with that)
Isn't the 100m referring to environmental parameters 100m altitude @ 13 degrees C ?
Can't help on the cds specific questions but mate had some factory norma bondstrike and it was not doing 2953 more like 2700 something.
Yeah this stuff is doing 2670 fps. Pathetic.Quote:

Or an ammo change
Or the “ barrel” speeding up or slowing down
The routine and discipline of dialling in MOA will also provide the skill set to shoot extended distance with multiple rifles
Yeah, but it's not my rifle .. . .Quote:

Looks like 100m zero and the rest of the dial up distance is in yards
Very confusing
They work well when the inputs are correct tbr takes care of angle iv got one for my 708 as it’s zero to 400 yards max
Ditto. I'm about to order one for my bush pig. Only a 400y gun and inside that range, real world difference is negligible.
I just picked what I thought were my averages for environmental 1500 feet 15c from memory good enough for meQuote:

Does anyone have a link to simple guide ‘how to dial MOA for dummies’?
Thanks in advance
Come to the range one day and Ill show ya.
Thanks for the offer Tentman. From memory the range is a Sunday only option? Which doesn’t work for me.
I think I met you at Custom Guns one day ages ago, Greg or Mac introduced us and for some reason commented on your forum name.
We can go anytime, just whatever suits!
Yes that's my understanding as well, they ask for average altitude and temp when you order a dialQuote:
