[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 195525, member: 412"] The easiest way to grasp drop/drift is to [SIZE=5][B][I][U]STOP[/U][/I][/B][/SIZE] trying to convert it from MOA/MILS back into "inches". There's [B][I][U][SIZE=5]NO[/SIZE][/U][/I][/B] ruler on a critter. Your scope has an accurate measurement/adjustment system built into it and assuming you've got a chart that's accounted for known velocity, bullet BC, and atmospheric conditions, now you're only required to "measure" or "know" the distance. No more measuring nor conversions should be happening after that. Once you know the distance, you consult your chart, make the accurately graduated adjustment to your POI/POA based upon your scope's capabilities and squeeze the trigger. There's damned few people who are able to do parabolic curve unit of measure conversions in their head. Converting MOA/MILS into inches makes about as much sense as converting speed into KP/h instead of MP/h. The speed you're traveling and the distance you'll cover in a given amount of time is the same regardless how that speed and distance are expressed, same goes for a bullet. Hate2Bogey, the above isn't directed at you specifically, moreso trying to drive home the point to anyone with an interest in this that trying to convert a known measurement that has accurate incremental adjustments on/in the scope, back into units of measure that will make you have to guess is unproductive.
