Long time no talk Bobseal223 umm I bought a savage 10fpc. 308 now what I want to know is what does the "fpc" mean. please help me cuz I would really like to know.
@aswomnessguy A minute of angle is a sixtieth of a degree. Most scope turrets are graduated in clicks. One click giving one quarter of an inch shift at 100 yards. Four clicks make one minute of angle equating to a one inch shift at one hundred yards.
Please remember that MOA or Mils are not measurements of distance, they are measurements of angle.
@13thmistral Thanks for the comment. I made the video to explain how to measure point of impact errors and convert the measurment in mils to MOA. I chose a windage error for the demonstration but it could have been an error in elevation. I use this method when I shoot at long range - 1200 yards - it works for me!
@RyanHoulio No. A mil is a measurement of angle whereas an inch is a measurement of length. However one mil will subtend 3.4 inches at 100 yards and 34 inches at 1000 yards. Most variable power tactical scopes with mildot reticules measure correctly at 10 power. Cheers, Bob.
What is the formula for shooting at say 1300yds with a 308. U set your elevation to shoot 1000 but how do u figure the mil dot holdover for the last 300 yds. Plz explain. Thank you
@theshwang Hi. A mate of mine printed off a ballistic table of elevations, windage etc for the .308. There are number of software packages that you can buy to do this. Elevation for 1200 yards with my ammo is 49.8 MOA. At 1000 yards the elevation required is 34.5 MOA, so I need 15.3 MOA more for 1200 yards. Dividing 15.3 by 3.4 gives 4.5 mils which is the hold over required. I don't have data for 1300 yards. Hope this helps.
@smenezes11 No. I zero at 100 or 300 yards. At close range the error in windage and elevation would be very small. However if you use mildots and you can measure the offset from your aim point, range does not matter.
@smileymat123 A minute of angle is a sixtieth of a degree. Most scope turrets are graduated in clicks. One click giving one quarter of an inch shift at 100 yards. Four clicks make one minute of angle equating to a one inch shift at one hundred yards. My video is just a method of converting milradians to MOA.
@TheRoostCrew Thanks. The video does not refer to the number of clicks, just to MOA. I left it up to the viewer to determine the niumber of clicks in 1 MOA. As you can see from the comment by medic103, there are also scope turrets that adjust in mils making conversion to MOA unnecessary.

@treverlid87 Hi Mate. I can't find out what FPC stands for. Maybe you could email Savage?
Rifle looks good, should be a tack driver!
Cheers,

sorry but i can kinda get why it coud have some bad ratings
though the conclusion on what to do is easy, it tells nothing about windage

Isn't 1 mil at 10 times magnification 3.4 Inches? Different magnifications/distances will alter that?

This seems more complicated and involved than other methods I've seen demonstrated that don't involve math or conversions, or even the mil dots.

@Bobseal223 Be careful, 1/8 MOA scopes are extremely common.

Good vid. It's even easier when you have mil adjustments on yours cope. No conversion necessary.

@medic103 Thanks mate. You are right re mil adjustments, dead easy!
