Hi.
I have 2 rifles both 308 One is a Savage 10PD with 26" Barrel (Bolt) the other is a RAA Saiga (Semi) with 21.8" barrel I plan on shooting Federal Match 168's, Hornandy Match 168's or standard M118LR 175's for both for long-range work and was wondering about the DROP for the .308's I have an ok scope 6-24x44 IR with MIL-DOT rec. on it. and was trying to figure out a simple way to do quick adjustments between say 200 yard and 500 yards using the Mil-Dots to figure the drop so I can 'count the dots' and shoot vs. re-adjusting every time. I know each MIL = 3.6"/100 yards so I need to know the bullet drop (if any) for these type of loads. Any help would be great and I'm sure some other newbies out there have the same questions. |

Thanks Dale. I plugged in the numbers and sub'd out the results for
inches and mils so now I got my 'DOT COUNT' more or less for the
distance/range. Thanks guys.
