or

475 yards, -50", 50/4.75 = 10.5 come-up

But then again, I'd have my dope cards sorted before I did any real shooting, I'm just scratching the surface on this stuff.

It may be obvious to you that "maths" is not my vocation, the university (FSU) has other ideas for me in that regard.


Skip the steps like the ones I highlighted.

Generate your dope in MOA at distance.


The point is you shouldn't have to do any math, whatever the scale. Put your load into the ballistic calculator. Generate the dope directly in MOA, mils, or dillyfloops to match your scope scale whatever it is.
