M RAD

I have lots of MOA scopes. Easy. I have 1 MRAD scope. I know that MOA is 4/100 etc etc etc. Is there a simple formula for the MRAD. i.e. at 200, I'm chasing my tail all over the place so at 300 I'm losing consciousness. I am zero at 100 at the moment and holding sub-moa and will shift that out to 150 or 200 later.

It's just 1m at 1000, 1cm at 100m, so very simple if used on metric ranges.

I find it easier to convert my target ranging to meters, as it is just too hard to convert everything I range.

You could remember a few distance conversions, but I am hopeless and would need a written card.
It works for me, as I also just have the one M-rad scope and only use it to shoot plates.

To use it as a varminter in the field, I would have to use the Strelok Pro app on the phone.
I paid a one-off small fee, as it has just about every scope reticle imaginable in its database.
You add your load, and all hold-over lines are then labeled with distance figures.
You can also dial, as it has a neat turret to click on and adjust, then dial the scope.
I can use that if a HO line is not exact for a longer-range distance shot and a few M-rad clicks have it smack on.

Some problems with Strelok: the inventer died, and it was Russian, or over there somewhere.
Some blokes say it's simple, but they likely use it more regularly than I do.
I can never remember how to do some basic programming functions.
Also, it's accurate because it calls for lots of projectile specs and stuff; make an error, and it's wrong.
How do I know that? Lol

Cheers for that. Yes, how do I know that a very small fire extinguisher can ruin a sailing weekend.

1 milradian is 1/1000th of the distance to the target. So at 100 metres it s 10cm, at 200 it is 20cm and at 1000 metres it is 1 metre.

Strelok is still available but you have to look for it. Some other Ruskie is pushing another version that is ridiculously user unfriendly compared to the original. I have the original that can still be found through a proxy at about 25% of the Google play scam. The original has been sanction̈ed by the US since the Ukraine war.
