Elevation Holdovers

Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-1
reticle or a laser rangefinder, the EBR-1 can be used for
rapid holdover correction for bullet drop of the cartridge
being used. To get the most benefit out of the EBR-1
equipped riflescope, Vortex Optics highly recommends
shooters learn their bullet drop numbers in MOAs rather
than inches.

Since the EBR-1 reticle is scaled in 2 MOA increments,
it is an easy job to quickly select the correct drop
reference line once the shooter knows the bullet drops in
MOAs. If the shooter prefers to dial come ups for bullet
drop using the elevation knob, knowing bullet drops
in MOAs rather than inches will allow for much faster
adjustments as the MOAs can be quickly read on the
elevation knob.

17.5 MOA reticle holdover for 625 yard shot. No wind.
