At 2,400 m (2,625 yd) the total drop predictions deviate 47.5 cm (19.7 in) or 0.20 mil (0.68 moa) at 50° latitude and up to 2,700 m (2,953 yd) the total drop predictions are within 0.30 mil (1 moa) at 50° latitude. The 2016 Lapua Ballistics 6 DoF App version predictions were even closer to the Doppler radar test predictions.
For instance a professional shooter may be able to repeatably hit a given size target, i.e. a 100 mm ring, at 1000 meters (0.1 mil target difficulty) in low and predictable wind, while the same 100 mm target may be near impossible to hit in heavy and varying wind at 200 meters (0.5 mil target difficulty).
Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...
For example, a rifle capable of firing a ½ or 0.5 MOA (approximately 0.5 inch center to center of the two holes furthest apart) 5-round group (often referred to as "grouping") at 100 yards will theoretically fire a 12.5 inch group at 2,500 yards (0.5 × 2,500/100 = 12.5). Unless the group is centered perfectly on the target at 100 yards, the ...
The group on the right measures about 7 mm and was fired at about 90 meters, which equals 7 mm / 90 m = 0.08 mils (0.3 in group at 100 yards, approx. 1.047′×0.3 = 0.314′). In shooting sports , a shot grouping , or simply group , is the collective pattern of projectile impacts on a target from multiple consecutive shots taken in one ...
CEP concept and hit probability. 0.2% outside the outmost circle. ... [3] is a measure of a weapon system's precision in the military science of ballistics.
The subtension is linear with the distance, for example, at 500 yards, 1 MOA subtends 5.235 inches, and at 1000 yards 1 MOA subtends 10.47 inches. Since many modern telescopic sights are adjustable in half ( 1 / 2 ), quarter ( 1 / 4 ) or eighth ( 1 / 8 ) MOA increments, also known as clicks , zeroing and adjustments are ...
A "splatter"-type paper target — 25 shots at a distance of 91 metres (100 yd), all hitting inside the bullseye within a 25 millimetres (1 in) grouping An electronic scoreboard used for stangskyting in Norway in 2007 showing the number of hits for each shooter after the first half.
