RETICLE

Elevation Holdovers

Once the distance has been calculated using the VMR-2 or a laser
rangefinder, the VMR-2 can be used for rapid holdover correction of
the bullet drop. To get the most benefit out of a riflescope equipped
with the VMR-2 reticle, Vortex Optics highly recommends shooters
learn their bullet drop numbers and windage/lead corrections in
MOAs rather than inches or mrads. Remember that 1 MOA will
correspond to 1.05 inches for each 100 yards or 29.1 mm for each
100 meters.

Since this VMR-2 reticle is marked in 4 MOA increments, it is easy
to quickly select the correct drop reference line once the shooter
knows the bullet drops and windage/lead corrections in MOAs. If
the shooter prefers to dial the come ups for bullet drop using the
elevation knob, knowing bullet drops in MOAs will allow for much
faster adjustments because the MOAs can be quickly read on the
elevation knob.

12 MOA reticle holdover correction for 600-yard shot. No wind.
