Thread: Mil/Mil vs MOA/MOA

This is a very good point.

The drop charts I use are created only after I have validated the drops at 300m and 500m usually, 250m and 350m for the .223. But when I do the charts will bias the outcome. I'm usually pretty good at remembering to set the climate and altitude.

Last week one cold morning I started missing at 540m after going well for the two hours prior at ~250-450m. Why? It wasn't that cold, but it could be up to 14-16°C cooler than when I did the drop chart. That's over 6" at 540m. I will recreate these charts with a median temperature for winter and summer. BTW despite their limitations, when its all on and you need to dial different ranges in quickly, a drop table is bloody helpful, better than cocking around with the phone.

Just make a set of cards for density altitude zones. Mine are color coded and laminated on a key ring.

Mil/Mil with cards for density altitude will do me.

I can concentrate on wind doping. The rest is trivial by comparison.
