This video introduces the 'Gun Number' method for rapid wind drift estimation in long-range shooting. Derived from the first digit of a projectile's G1 Ballistic Coefficient, the Gun Number directly correlates to mil radian wind holds for specific wind speeds and distances. The technique offers a faster field guesstimate compared to complex calculations, supplementing formal wind mastery courses.

This guide details how to calculate and true ballistic data for an AR-15 using a ballistic calculator app and real-world range data. It covers measuring muzzle velocity, inputting rifle and bullet specifications, and using the generated dope chart for accurate shooting at various distances. The process emphasizes verifying zero and making corrections based on actual impacts to achieve consistent first-round hits.

This episode of Moondog 2A's "Guns, Beer & Therapy" features a panel discussion on rifle scopes, covering MOA vs. Mil Radian adjustments, scope mounting techniques, and popular brands. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper scope selection and installation for accurate shooting, with insights into different reticle types and mounting hardware. The panel also touches on the practical application of scope adjustments for various shooting distances and disciplines.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticles, Minute of Angle (MOA), and Mil Radian (MRAD) systems for firearm optics. The instructor, with extensive experience, argues for the superiority of MRAD for its mathematical simplicity, communication clarity, and adaptability in long-range shooting scenarios. The content details the pros and cons of each system, focusing on practical application, communication, and the mathematical underpinnings of ballistic calculations.

This video debunks common misconceptions about MOA (Minute of Angle) and MIL (Milliradian) reticles in long-range shooting. The instructor argues that MIL is generally more practical and less prone to error for most shooters, especially under stress or when engaging multiple targets. The video emphasizes that rifle precision is determined by group size, not just reticle fineness, and that MOA's perceived precision is often a misunderstanding of practical application.

This video demonstrates two distinct methodologies for long-range precision shooting: dialing the scope's turrets versus using a hold within the reticle. Lucas Botkin from T.REX ARMS showcases rapid target engagement using both techniques with a Nightforce ATACR scope and a Vortex Impact 4000 rangefinder. The instruction highlights the importance of understanding ballistic compensation for consistent accuracy at extended distances.

This guide, based on insights from ballistician Bryan Litz, emphasizes the critical role of the rifle scope in long-range shooting. It details how to optimize scope setup using tapered bases and understanding adjustment requirements for calibers like the .308 Winchester at extended distances. Litz, an authority in applied ballistics, highlights the necessity of precise, repeatable adjustments for hitting targets at 1000 yards and beyond.

This guide details the setup and application of the Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44mm optic for long-range shooting, drawing on expert insights from Iraqveteran8888. It covers understanding the First Focal Plane Horus H59 reticle, utilizing the M5B2 elevation turret with its auto-locking feature and zero stop, and employing reticle sub-tensions for rapid holdovers and windage corrections. The instruction emphasizes practical application for precision rifle engagements at various distances.

This expert review from SHOT Show 2012 details the Leupold RX1000i with TBR Digital Laser Rangefinder. Eric Overstreet, Leupold's Product Line Manager for Rangefinders, highlights the new DNA engine for enhanced accuracy and instant response times. The review also covers the significant advantages of the OLED display over older LCD technology, particularly in low-light conditions, and details the expanded TBR capabilities and archery ballistics range.
