I needed to know the dimension of ACOG TA11 reticle dimensions. I want to use the same scope for different calibers, so I need to know the dimensions to compensat bullet drop correctly. I also wanted to get a little more out of the scope determining ranges than the shoulder stadia on bullet drop compensation scale.
So what to do? Googling got me zero results. I asked Trijicon twice, no answer.
Best I could figure out was printing paper with MOA scale on it and take a photograph through the scope. Paper was easy when I found this page:
http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multiwidth/
One can get any kind of graphpaper as a pdf download from there, so I just dialed in the figures and printed it out. Next step was to measure out 10 meters for which I made the paper for, and fix the camera and the scope for a photograph. I found out that I had to have two photos, as I couldn't focus on reticle and the paper simultaneously for some reason. I didn't that was a problem though, I just merged the two photos.
The result is in the attachment, and I think it is correct. But is it? I counted & marked the drop in MOA on the picture starting from the middle of the donut.
And one more addition just to piss of the PC soccer mums. MT 5:16 FTW!
