    @MrBobsrevenge 5 represents 500. . . . . In order to convert the distance, 500 yards you would divide by 100=5 you divide the drop in inches 60. 5 by 5=12. 1 MOA

  2. anad41775 says:

    @mdevers1 No

  3. MrBobsrevenge says:

    @anad41775 i got it up until the dividing point i got divide 60. 5 by 5 but how the hell does 100=5? and what if you got 1/4 MOA clicks and not 1 click one inch

    @anad41775 Reducing the MOA by 5% should be a pretty trivial matter. In this example, subtract . 25 MOA (1 click on 1/4″ DIV) for every 5 MOA you go up.

    soooo is 12 MOA = 48 clicks for elevation????

    @anad41775 Cool man, thanks for the info. I will treat them as 1/4″moa @100yds.

    does it make any difference if the rifle is zeroed at 200 yards?

  8. anad41775 says:

    @vdubin474If it says 1/4″ ,then most likely you have 1/4″ adjustments @100 yards. I think the DIV is short for division, in scope language means clicks.

  9. vdubin474 says:

    I was wondering if you could help me out again. The turrets on my scope are in 1/4″ DIV. What is a DIV?

    is there an error in the first two rows of the chart? how does a bullet drop 1. 5 inches in the first 100 yards and then come back up to 0? should it read +1. 5, +0. 1, 0, -1. 3 etc. or am i missing something?

    @anad41775
    But if someone was calculating there drop from inches at 1,000 yards they would be a whole MOA off.

  12. anad41775 says:

    @seanpomerinke You are correct. But it’s a lot easier to remember the 100=1 200=2 ect. rule than to get out the calculator.

  13. seanpomerinke says:

    No you would times it by 5. 235 because 1 MOA = 1. 047 not 1.
    So you would use 11. 5 MOA not 12
    At 500 yards thats only 2. 5 inches but at 1,000 yards that would add up.
