Im so jealous of the land in every video. Ive always had an interest in long range shooting, I have to drive an hour to get to an area that I can get 500 yards. My rifle is just an el cheapo i found at a pawn shop, but it makes me happy.
Without a doubt, The Best content on Speed drop factor.There are a very few very good ones but this one fully explains the concept . Outstanding! I’m now subscribing!
Hey man, I love your channel. this is my favourite video. i'd love to see more vids on how to get speedy but practical accuracy, or perhaps a video on spotting in a timely manner
Thanks for explaining this information. I have a Kestrel 5700 Elite with a Kilo3000 laser rangefinder. Kestrel has online classes that they have talked a little bit about the information you cover in your video. Since I’m shooting my MRAD in 338 Lapua Magnum I use a 200 yard zero instead of 100 yards. I don’t like to shoot anything under 700 yards unless I’m checking out my zero again at 200 yards.
100% you should give it a try if you’re trying to shoot “generous” targets quickly. Not something I use all the time, but certainly a great tool to have in the toolbox
Only confused on one bit. So for inside/outside of your speed drop window, you held an extra .5-.6 MILs high, was this to double your margin for error or was it an educated guess?
Average Human Head On Man Is 6-7 Inches Wide. Average Height On Man 5’9 So It Would Be Nice Sometime To See You Shoot Targets That Resembles A Full Body Silhouette. Speed #’s Effectiveness Are Acceptable Under Rapid Fire Engagements Of 2-4 Inches At 1000 Yards In Military Sniper School. Great Material & Coverage Over A Wide Spectrum. Keep It Going.
This is really interesting, never heard of this before. Where did you come across this concept and if you don’t mind me asking sir, what is your background in long range shooting? This has me excited and that’s not easy to do lol. RESPECTFULLY Jim
Man nothing wrong with moa but in my opinion MIL based optics are just a much better fit for practical long range shooting. Don’t worry, the transition will be easy.
Use it all the time but mainly on a slower 6.5/140 comes out to 2.3 and also on 5.56 which is right around 2.0. Instead of dialing under the whole number I dial just enough to get to 2.0 and the subtract the 2.0 from the yardage. So I can zoom a little more and not have to be all the way at the bottom of the reticle. Also wind dots stay a little truer and max point blank is on 0. Only trick is remembering to subtract the 2.0 from the yardage.
Great point and something I didn't even think to include in the video. Personally I don't want to do any math on the fly so I like to dial the full amount but if you train you can make yourself effective with anything! Thanks for watching
Think I'll stick with my Sig BDX rangefinder. Connects to my phone for current barometer (built into my Samsung) temps and it adjusts my drop for that day's atmospherics. Range, dial, dinner...
I actually don't have plans to pickup a scar 17 myself, but one of my buddies has one that I can borrow. I've got a 308 video out similar to the SBR video you saw where I shoot my 16" SR25 to 1000ish yds, my expectation is the scar 17 would be capable of very similar performance. Now that you mention it however, scar 17 content would be a great addition to the channel. Thanks for watching!
Why the 5 mill on the range finder??? I didn't quite grasp that part. And also, do you have a 0 mill rail and scope mount? Or is that a factor or not? Thank you.
The rail on the MRAD has 10 mils of elevation built into it. My scope mount is a 0 cant mount. I zero the rangefinder 5 mils below the main crosshair because the wilcox raptar is also an IR illuminator that I use when shooting at night with clip on NV. Zeroing the rangefinder/ IR illuminator 5 mils low means when I'm shooting at distance at night my illuminator is providing illumination down in the portion of the reticle that I'm actually using for shooting at extended distance. Hope this clears things up, let me know if it doesn't!
The 7 mm PRC 175 Grain Whoops The 6.5 PRC 143 Grain At The Muzzle. Far More Energy. Better BC & Just All Around Better Ballistics With Extremely Knowledgeable Shooting Accuracy & Of Course The More Coefficient Bullets That Rule Supreme. If I I’m Shooting In The 6 Calibers I Always Use 6 mm Arc Depending On Wind Speeds. .300 PRC Will Drop Any Game In North America Because Of Energy & Reach. So Many Factors Come Into Play Over 1760 Yards. Big 3 Are Wind Speeds, Correct Doping On Scope & Even The Spin If Earth. That Said 6.5 PRC Will Reach Out Effective & Full Size Man Targets To 1500 Yards For The Better Civilian Shooters. After That There Are Better Cartridges. Dope Sheets Are Absolutely A Great Aid.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica if you ever find yourself bored at the range and you have an MOA reticle scope just laying around, A speed drop MOA experiment video would be much appreciated. 😁 Thank you for what you do!
Located in eastern Washington! Some of the steepest farm ground in the world. Check out videos of wheat harvest in the Palouse on UA-cam, it’ll give you an idea of how things are done In the region.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Of course, the Palouse! I work in Ag and visited Washington once. A Wilbur Ellis rep met me in Spokane, and we toured a location or two in the Palouse, then in the Basin (?.. Tri-Cities area?) and then up into Tukwilla(Seattle). The Palouse region is phenomenal, especially when seen from the air!
@@specfever2 Very cool, eastern WA really is a unique place. Growing up on the east coast, eastern WA is completely different from what I used to imagine WA had for weather and terrain. Cool you've had a chance to visit! Hard to explain these hills to folks that have never seen them haha
I use the shooter app on my iphone but there are tons of quality ballistic apps available for download. From there you plug in your bullet weight, BC and velocity and the app will spit out your dope. Next thing is you want to check what the app provides against real world drop on the range. You can also use a tool like a kestrel to get dope but that is a significant investment.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica No kidding! to the tune of $749. FYI, any one that has Strelok Pro the "Speed Drop Factor" was included in the latest update. On your iPhone it is found at the bottom of the "Change Cartridge" page which is presented in a colorful graph format... kinda neat
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Sorry pal, I forgot to mention that your presentation was spot on and easy to follow... Way better than Todd's son, and he grew up with this stuff
Cool system, but I'm an old fart that uses moa... I wish there was something this simple for the imperial system. I just extend my zero out as far as I can with the vitals window and go from there knowing what the drop is after that but there isn't a correlation between the range and the reticle unless the reticle is custom for that load.
Yeah you’d think someone would develop something for moa but I’m not aware of anything. This process is one of the main reasons I only shoot mils anymore. Thanks for watching!
No, I don’t believe so. My understanding of the ACSS reticle is it’s a bullet drop compensator. The hold overs are placed in the reticle based on where the bullet should land based on the calibration of the reticle. Speed drop factor is a mil based solution where you are adjusting the performance of a mil reticle so that it behaves like a bdc. So similar in function but not exactly the same in how they are designed. Hopefully that explanation makes sense. Thanks for watching!
So your error factor is really .4 and not .2 because you added the extra .2 above and below peak. Just like it’s really .6 and not .3 because you added an extra .3 above and below peak. Am I missing something?
Not much, typically I prefer less mag. I was shooting a full size ipsc the other night at 1100yds using my .308 SR-25. Had no problem making multiple hits at 11-12x
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Thank you. I was looking to get a ATACR for shooting out to about 1000 yards...always see you with a 5-25 or 7-35 and I thought I might be missing out by going with a 4-16.
@@michaelquaglietta8762 Oh man 4-16 is perfect for shooting 1000ish yds, you won't be missing out at all. Where I prefer the higher mag is for 100 yd groups but I also shot several moa 100 yd groups the other night no problem. I actually own 2 4-16s, they are very capable.

Can I use this with a point blank range of say 200 yard zero
Would this concept work with an MOA reticle? I imagine it could but it wouldn’t be as precise, however, my grasp on this concept is not great lol
No, my understanding is speed drop is mil only. If there’s something similar available for moa I’m not familiar with it.
