Do you have Windows Excel? With Excel, you could set up a formula to handle the conversion for you.

Alternatively, if you have an Android phone, check out the (free) Strelok app.

Daniel:

I am confused. You said you want to use the metric system and the scope is in metric, right? So what is the problem?

Or do you have a trajectory table in yards, and need to convert it?

There are 2.54 centimeters to an inch, so .5 cm is about .2 inches; five clicks would be about an inch. Does that help?

If You are using Windows,you can trye this program: http://www.weatherbyrifler.com/Download/pcb203-en.zip

It works wery well,many longrange shooters here in Norway use it.
Just make sure to write in the right parameters (shit in = shit out) Wink

Hi Daniel,

If I have understood your question correctly, you would like a ballistics program whereby you can enter in your parameters and get a click value for dialing your scope?

In that case there are a few options.

I have a spreadsheet I put together with my load data and corresponding ballistic graphs and tables, I think I can modify it to something approaching what you need.

The second option is to go to JBM ballistics online: http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi

Input your data and change the value of the drop-down box at the bottom labelled "Column 2 Units (0.05 to 10.00 MOA) [1.00] [?]" from MOA to cm/100m.

When you perform the calcs the second column from the left marked "drop" will be the number of clicks you have to dial.

The software itself is freeware and so you can download a copy for offline use.

I hope that helps but don't hesitate to email me if you need anything else mate.

Best,

Amir

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Afraid not buddy! 2.54 cm to 1 inch is correct.

I second JBM ballistics, they're great.


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.
