Looks like you're correct on that! Radians (and milliradians) are not related to other units of the metric system like meters so I think the point is still worth making. MOA are still not imperial like is often repeated as well. Thanks for the correction, always learning new things myself!

@michaelhill6451 Жыл бұрын
@@glasstrigger Let me rephrase. Degrees are used in the imperial system but aren't unique to it. They are actually an ancient Babylonian invention which is why they are a sexagesimal system (i.e. base 60). So, there is some truth to the claim that MOA isn't an imperial unit, it is however used in the imperial system and other non-SI/metric systems. So, if you mean, MOA isn't unique to the imperial system, then you are correct. It's also true that you could use any unit of length to calculate radians. It doesn't have to be meters. It could be yards, feet, inches, miles, meters, km, etc.

For hunting...you forgot about exit pupil ..... This is huge for low light. 5mm is perfect.
@glasstrigger Жыл бұрын
Great info! I’ll be honest, I didn’t have a good understanding of exit pupil before so I appreciate you bringing it up! I went and did some research and learned a bit. Because exit pupil is just a function of Objective lens size divided by magnification I think to keep it simple just focusing on the objective lens size is easiest! For example an objective lens at 54mm and 9 magnification would have a 6mm exit pupil. Obviously as you change your magnification your exit pupil will change in size.

I know in some specific disciplines like F-Class shooting where people are shooting some incredibly small groups finer lines of 2nd focal plane optics can be preferred. But for almost all other applications I don’t believe 2nd focal plane would be preferred.

I have long shared the video from deermeatfordinner. Rob Arrington brought down a canadian moose with a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 143 gr ELD-X. I would not shoot that light. I have a handful of .308s. But, this year, I got bit by the 7 PRC bug and I just love the performance. And for hunting, my group is .41 inches (.39 MOA), which I find acceptable. I have come to recently value the impact velocity as equal to or more important than the impact energy. Granted, I might squeek by with 1850 fps, but I don't mind sticking with 2,000 fps. With my 7 PRC 175 gr ELD-X, that is 800 yards, which is farther than I am ever going to shoot. At shorter distances, some might say, well, stick with the .308 at 300 yards and in. Fair enough. But the longer ranges with stopping power are going to be better suited with magnum rounds. Rob Arrington being the exception, I fear many is the animal that is slightly wounded by an underweight round.
@glasstrigger Жыл бұрын
@ronws2007 I think people definitely overestimate the energy required to take down a target. People have been taking down very large game with 6.5 caliber bullets for awhile, but it does give you a little less wiggle room. You shouldn't ever have to worry about not having enough energy with that 7mm PRC though! That thing can basically fly forever! Thanks for the comment!

@glasstrigger Жыл бұрын
The 22-250 and .243 are both great cartridges! The reason I didn’t include them on this list is because there really isn’t any good match grade ammo available for either. And the guns you find quite often have slow twist rates making it hard to stabilize those longer higher BC bullets. The .223 comes in fast enough twist rates and has a great selection of long range capable match grade ammunition making it a great fit for beginner long range shooters. The 22-250 and 243 are still great cartridges and if you reload your own ammunition can do some amazing things.
