How to use it

1. Print at 100% and check the 100 mm bar.
2. Set the target at 100 m and fire five rounds from a supported position.
3. Each grid square is one MOA — count squares, not millimetres, to work out the correction.
4. The table gives drop at 50, 100, 200 and 300 m for the same load.

Ballistic data on this sheet

Computed by the BallisticEngine G1 point-mass model at 15 °C, sea level, 1013 hPa, no wind. Negative drop means the bullet lands below the point of aim. A different bullet weight or barrel length moves every number in this table — run your own load.
