Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert bullet drop to MOA?
Divide the drop in inches by 1.047 times the distance in hundreds of yards. A 12-inch drop at 300 yards equals 12 divided by 3.141, or about 3.82 MOA.
What is the difference between MOA and MIL?
One MOA equals about 1.047 inches at 100 yards, while one MIL equals 3.6 inches at 100 yards. They are two scales for the same correction; pick the one matching your scope turret.
How many clicks is one MOA on my scope?
Most hunting and target scopes adjust in 1/4-MOA increments, so one MOA equals four clicks. Mil scopes typically use 1/10-MIL clicks, meaning one MIL equals ten clicks.
Why use 1.047 instead of 1 inch per 100 yards?
One MOA is actually 1.047 inches at 100 yards, not exactly one inch. The shortcut is close at short range but introduces meaningful error past a few hundred yards.
