kent Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'd quite happily sacrifice some spelling and grammar ability if it meant I could get my head round range estimations using mil-dots and zeroing properly! Two different things as I am sure you are aware, were do you seem to be having difficulty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies, 50 yards .22 and 100 yards .17 would be about what the distances i would be using them. Theres a 25 metre indoor range, localish i just thought i might be able to do them there and make slight adjustment in the field I would check about that i don't know any indoor ranges round here that will let you use a .17HMR. TVTS certainly does not so best of luck and i hope you get sorted... PS for got to add if i can be any help just drop me a line all the best for 2014 Edited December 24, 2013 by hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibspoon Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Two different things as I am sure you are aware, were do you seem to be having difficulty? Well, I can work our range in yards if the target size is measured in yards...but I get lost when I try and use inches for the target size! Maths was never my strong point. How do I use inches for the target size, but get the range in yards? Cheers Kent. Merry Christmas all. **** me, I only wanted some good advice as i'm new to the game, now i feel like Ban Ki Moon. Thanks to all, Have a great Christmas lads & Lasses, i'm sure I will be back asking more questions next year. Lol! This thread is exactly why I sometimes don't bother even looking at PW for a while. But I'm hooked so I always end up coming back for more. Happy Crimbo fella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) hi chap, this is how i do it, set up some targets at varying ranges, lets say 25,50, 75, and 100 metres, if i zero at 75 m, then from the same position shoot the rest of the targets, that way i find out where the bullet hits and compensate from there. the Hmr has a longer range, it might help if you use a spotting scope or a buddy, saves walking the 300/400m round trip to see where the bullet strike is.
