Thread: Handy BC reference chart

A normal turret seems more logical

If you do it right, then a BDC turret makes perfect sense, it's very fast

Why is it faster than winding on moa or mil from a normal turret

Because there is no mucking around digging up a chart, finding the correct data etc. From position behind rifle, look at turret, turn to correct value, fire. It's also more intuitive/visual to "fudge" values between ranges.

Value would be range, would it? or Moa?
So how do you find correct moa setting without charts and range finder

Range, yes

you don't need chart, just range, dial, shoot

ahh simpliciy itself
No doubt you will have them on all your rifles then.

trick question, I only have one rifle


I haven't proved my new load well enough yet to make a BDC turret for it

That's what appeals to me about yardage ones. To be honest, i'll pay 50 bucks just for a shot at it being accurate. Will get a MOA one also in case it's not so accurate.

Not having to pull out the phone and fuck around would be so much faster.

What worries me more than anything though is all the talk I see such as, "Clicks with xxx scope aren't 1/4 MOA, more like 1/3 MOA or 1/5 MOA." That shit scares me bad. How do people test it to such accuracy? I had assumed if you pay a couple grand for a scope then the fucking clicks would be what they say they are.

Yea the Cds would in theory be perfect for my hunting but i run two loads, tho in saying that i haven't fired an amax in probably a year.:rolleyes:

Matty Im sure your click values will be close enough for you not to notice. You will probably get more variation from whatever crhony you used.

You could mark out moa lines on a big bit of paper clamp the rifle and wind up and down. Remembering moa is not exactly an inch at 100y.
Or shoot at range on a windles day to verify drops and adjust velocity in app till they match which is probably all that matters(that you hit what your aiming at)

This is the way two do it.

I was actually thinking of doing that! I know that the 2699 avg velocity I got after about 20 chrony'd shots is really close. But I suspect it's actually slightly faster due to some slight differences in what Strelok tells me, and me generally hitting slightly higher. That would make sense too, since Strelok works off muzzle velocity and the chrony was a few yards away.

Another question - Strelok tells me that to change my zero from 100 yards to 200 yards is 6.2 clicks. But then to change back from 200 yards to 100 yards is 7.2 clicks. What's going on here, as one is obviously wrong? Might be a glitch in the code and I should email the developer with my load info?

That's beyond me ?
