This guide explains how to use MRAD (Mils) in your optic's reticle to estimate target distance without a laser rangefinder. It covers the mathematical formulas for ranging based on target size in inches or yards/meters, and differentiates between first and second focal plane scope accuracy. The instruction emphasizes MRAD's utility for rapid shooting adjustments and bullet drop/windage compensation.

This expert guide, presented by Josh from 9-Hole Reviews for MidwayUSA, breaks down the differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Mil-radian (Mil) systems for long-range shooting. It details their scaling, adjustment increments, and practical applications for holdovers, windage compensation, and ranging. The instructor emphasizes choosing one system and sticking with it for consistency and clear communication, particularly when shooting with partners.

This guide details a methodical approach to long-range precision shooting, emphasizing advanced techniques for target mapping and ballistic calculations. Lucas Botkin, demonstrating high expertise, utilizes a Surgeon CSR rifle with a Nightforce optic and Kestrel Elite Ballistics meter. The process involves detailed pre-shot planning and precise execution for engaging targets at extended distances.

This video demonstrates the use of a cartridge-shaped green laser bore sighter designed for .223 Remington/5.56x45mm NATO firearms. The presenter highlights its convenience for initial optic alignment but notes its limitations in broad daylight due to low visibility at distance. It's recommended for indoor use or shaded areas at closer ranges, requiring ballistic calculations for zeroing at greater distances.

This guide details how to zero a rifle optic quickly and effectively, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor. It covers establishing a baseline group, analyzing impact, making precise turret adjustments using MOA values, and confirming the zero for repeatable accuracy. The process emphasizes a stable shooting platform and understanding scope mechanics for efficient zeroing.

This video focuses on the Revic BR4 Ballistic Rangefinder, providing an in-depth explanation of its wind call capabilities and calculation methods. It aims to educate viewers on how to leverage this device for more accurate shooting, particularly in challenging conditions.

This guide details the meticulous preparation of a precision rifle for long-range shooting, as demonstrated in 'The Sniper' video. It covers rifle setup, environmental and optical adjustments, complex ballistic calculations using various tools, and the final shot execution. The video humorously highlights the importance of precision, even when the outcome is unexpected.

This guide details an expert-level technique for extreme long-range shooting, demonstrated by Mitch Libby and Landon Michaels of Gunwerks. It covers rifle setup with the HAMR 2.0 in .375 CheyTac, precise ballistic calculations for over two miles, and the critical process of making incremental adjustments using a spotter to achieve a successful impact. The analysis highlights the extreme ballistics involved, including significant drop and flight time.

This review covers the Leupold RX-1300i TBR rangefinder, highlighting its capabilities for ballistic calculations and long-distance ranging. While the reviewer finds the TBR and DNA technology impressive for accurate holdover adjustments, they note challenges in navigating the menu system. The rangefinder is praised for its lightweight design and good grip, though its maximum effective range in real-world conditions was observed to be around 1000 yards, with fog impacting performance.

This guide details expert reloading techniques for powder measurement and scale calibration, emphasizing the longevity and precision of traditional tools like the RCBS Uniflow and Lyman/Ohaus 505 scale. It covers component selection, consistent operation, averaging vs. trickling methods, and the minimal ballistic impact of minor charge variations, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor.

This episode of LRP Highlights features Aaron on a once-in-a-lifetime hunt for a Big Horn sheep in New Mexico. The hunt culminates in a long-range shot at 683 yards, emphasizing the critical role of accurate ballistic calculations and understanding one's True Ballistic Profile for success in extreme distance shooting.
