Range finding using mill dots.

[air gunner 0]

I want to use my mill dot scope to range find at those longer range shots. Now I have got this free mill dot range finding software on my iPhone but I assume it uses 10x mag as standard, now my scope only goes up to 9 mag and I use it on 6x because I find it more accurate. So if I use this software and fill in the table of target dimensions and then how Many mill dots it covers it will give me the range as if I were on 10x mag how do I convert it to 6x mag? Does this make sence? Thanks.

Yes it does make sence

 

However I along with many others would suggest you download a copy of Chairgun Pro

 

CGP will give you your mildot ranges on what ever mag you wish.

You can also compare the results with the program you have on your phone to get a better idea of what mag that program uses.

 

With CGP you can also take the guesswork out of the combination by printing out the mildot ranges in useful images to fit your scope caps, range cards and tapes to wrap aroun your turrets

 

Try it, its pretty easy to use and if you have any difficulty then Si (ZINI) has provided a step by step video tutorial on here

Good stuff. I do currenty use chair gun and find it fantastic however your idea of comparing my phone software to chair gun is a great idea to show me how far off the iPhone app is with the different mags. When I get home I will check do some comparing and show the results. Using chair gun I have found the mils needed for upto 50 yard shots and get good results up to 45 yards so being able to range distant rabbits on my phone will allow me to make these shots. Thanks.
