Mil-Dot Master Tutorial | Best Long Range Tool
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- I've owned a Mil-Dot Master for over 10 years, and I love this tool! If you own a mil based (MRAD) scope, you owe it to yourself to get one of these for your range bag. It allows you to calculate target distance, target size, translate bullet drop to MOA or MRAD, and adjust elevation holds based on incline/decline shooting.
UA-cam isn't a fan of me linking to accessories like this, but I trust you can find it on your own. They cost about $30-35.

I was taught by my son how to figure how to change yards into meters and vice versa. A yard is .914 of a meter. Simple math solves the equation.
Having a rangefinder with an angle adjusting distance as well as line of sight settings is also critical. My rangefinder also has a button to use whether it's meters or yards increments. I also have the wind adjustment features to go all the way out to 1000 meters or 1094 yards in my booklet that I always carry with my tactical 308 winchester. It's a snap to obtain the firing solution with my kestrel wind readings.
It's only usable when you are hunting in the same Altitude as your rifle has been sighted in at and the same atmospheric conditions though. If the temperature is colder then it also changes as the atmosphere is thicker the colder it gets. There's alot more to affirm, and you'll only learn how it works by years of experience.
This is the only calculator I take with me to the field. I love this thing. I also like the fact that I can get a visual on my data and not just numbers on a screen. Thanks
I've been into collecting and training for years, mostly urban/hunting in NE, so all within 50-150 yards mostly. I just started getting into long range shooting and I'm working on a wonderful build that I've selected a MILRAD scope for. Thank you for your guidance and lessons because the process has been a learning curve.
That type of analog computer is also known as a nomogram or nomograph. I love it! No batteries to die. Nothing to break. No firmware to upgrade. I have always had an interest in long range shooting. Maybe I will pursue it next year! Thanks for the great tutorial.
No batteries = the BEST!
I've had my Mil-Dot Master for 8yrs (I think Rex had it in his Sniper 101 series forever ago..) -- great analog device
That dude can shoot :)
Excellent video! For 45 yrs I thought tactical precision rifle here in Va. for our LEO's and Military! There is no better tool to have in your ruck than the Mildot Master. Dang, scope ain't shabby either. Take care and Merry Christmas, Vern Harrison
Thanks Vern. Ohh an instructor? How awesome! Thanks for the comment, glad to have you as a subscriber on the channel.
Mr Harrison are you still retired?
@@BabblingBrookemountain Like John Wick, are you coming out of retirement?
In your video, you say "If you calculate your bullet drop in inches", do you mind sharing the math behind doing that, knowing distance that you found with the width/mil size? Or however you did it
My hospital's morgue still uses an analog computer to keep a continuous temperature record. Good stuff.
Using liver temps?
Thank you
You're welcome!
A watch with a slide rule bezel will do it also. For those that are watch enthusiasts and hunting enthusiasts.
*thumbs up*
Born in 94. Know what both an analog computer and slide rule are. Maybe punlmp the breaks a bit there ( yes, i also know how to drive in snow and how to drive a manual, and what "pump the breaks" actually means.. )
Bump to March 2022 very good instructions
Glad it still holds water 🤘
Thanks man I didnt know this existed
question 1: where do you get the 2.5 mil reading from for the first example.
question 2: how does this work for bullet drop when different length barrels and different calibers and ammo weight will have different bullet drops.
For question 1: He looks at the target in the reticle. The top of the shoulder is in the center of the reticle and the bottom of the chest is at about 2.25 mils. Pause the video at 2:11 to see that on screen. I'm not sure about question 2. I'm also not sure how this works with a target of an unknown size
With it being 260 yds instead of 400, would you dial for the 260?
Great Job. Clear, concise and excellent videography. I’ll subscribe.
Thanks for the sub!
EPIC Slide Rule !
*thumbs up*
Fantastic. Thanks
Very well done, thanks
AMZ on order...
Hope you’re liking it
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to create content.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
You bet, Danny 🖖
Great video, thanks for creating!
Thanks for stopping by!
Outstanding!!
Thank you! Cheers!
They are awesome !
*thumbs up*
Excellent Video 👍
What’s that other book you have in the beginning called?
Thats a dangerous dude.
What folder with inserts is that? :) Thanks!
Very cool
Thank you!!
Thamk you!
You welcome
That was super interesting thanx
Glad you found it useful!
What is that notepad with mils to yards called?
Very good
Thanks
Very good ill be comingback to remember hah
Glad you enjoyed
This video is super helpful. Thank you for putting it together! I have the exact same MILDOT Master. At 3:01, you state "At 450-yards, you have a bullet drop of 25-inches". I don't see a reference line on the Bullet Drop column like I do for the Target Size column. Can you help me understand how you determined 25-inch bullet drop?
This doesnt calculate your bullet drop, you have to to do field testing to know what that is or look up its ballistics data for that round. So in this setup he shows here, at 2.25 mils, 36" is about 450 yrds out. (Actually, it's 444 yrds because if you look at it, its just a bit under. Formula is; 36" x 27.77 ÷ 2.25 = 444 yrds) Knowing your bullet drop data, you look in that column and see ohh, i need to adjust 1.6 mils up. Hope that helps.
@@oldiron4135 thanks!
What about bullet type, load ect.
Thanks!!!!
You're welcome!
Great information!! Always enjoy watching your videos. Will be picking one up! What kind of watch are you wearing ?
It's a Casio Pro Trek
Kick ass video. I'm looking for an analog (no batteries) way to estimate range for black powder shooting with a tang sight. The .50 cal 300 grain conical bullets I use, have a very parabolic trajectory so range estimation is critical. I suppose I could use this calculator with a scope just for the milli-radian measurement. Any thoughts ?
What a shame its no longer supported. I checked play and there is no app
What are those green sheets in your binder. I'm looking for a product to use in conjunction with the milldot master that has common measurements of targets.
Check out Us tactical supply. They have a bunch of data book kits and refills for reference and logging of target sizes and are printed on rite in rain paper. The kit is a good deal because you just refill when you need instead of getting a whole new spiral book.
Wat if I shoot at ranges from 50 meters to a max of 150meters will this help.
Also I use the fx impact mk2 for most of my shooting ....and coming Dec to march I wud be using Winchester 7mmfor derr n boars
If you have to ask a question like that, I would say you are in the wrong area of study. Walmart is hiring door greeters....
I was wondering what caliber the bullet drop is calculated for?
This doesn't calculate your bullet drop, but there are slide-type tools that do. This is more for converting angular measurements (MIL) to inches.
@@innerbarkoutdoors Cool man!
Hi
For a SF what zoom must you be on because is changes mils when you zoom in and out
For most scopes it will be on the maximum magnification. You'll have to double check using a grid of known size at a known distance
Nice video what ammo caliber i can use whit the mildot máster.
Any, it's only an analog calculator.
Jumped to 2022 how did you calculate the bullet drop or know which mark to choose for such thing
You gotta have a table with that data ready for your specific setup (or know it by memory). You get the bulletdrop for that specific range either from manufacturer data or through testing it yourself.
Will it work on ebr 7c mrad reticle
Yes
Where can I get a master card?
Cabela's would help you out
If I want to aim and hit the elk horn only?
It is around 8 cm thick?
How could I do it?
It's not even an analog computer, it's a mechanical computer.
Best long range tool is a range card, period.
Facts
So if i was bron in 1989, & know what a slide rule is....
You must be a time traveler, or an absolute geek (not a bad thing)
I thought an analog computer is an abacus (-:
Too noisy I guess lol
Safety violation.
Rifle off safe.
Rifle clear, but thanks
@@innerbarkoutdoors just busting your balls. great vid and info. Im checking out more of your vids.
Thank you.
