  2. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    Shooting at close range indicates a cylinder bore barrel to deliver a wide grouping, while for hunting at longer distances such as 50 yards or meters, a choke is recommended to constrict the scattering for a tighter pattern. [3] In archery, a shot grouping is the result of one person shooting multiple arrows at a target.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliradian

    ⁠ 20 mm / 50 m ⁠ = 0.4 mrad, or 4 clicks with a ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad adjustment scope. ⁠ 50 mm / 1000 m ⁠ = 0.05 mrad, or 1 click with a 0.05 mrad adjustment scope. In firearm optics, where 0.1 mrad per click is the most common mrad based adjustment value, another common rule of thumb is that an adjustment of ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ mrad changes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

  6. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    Such adjustments are trivial when the scope's adjustment dials have a MOA scale printed on them, and even figuring the right number of clicks is relatively easy on scopes that click in fractions of MOA. This makes zeroing and adjustments much easier: To adjust a 1 ⁄ 2 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 × ...

    Here is an example of a ballistic table for a .30 calibre Speer 169 grain (11 g) pointed boat tail match bullet, with a BC of 0.480. It assumes sights 1.5 inches (38 mm) above the bore line, and sights adjusted to result in point of aim and point of impact matching 200 yards (183 m) and 300 yards (274 m) respectively.

  8. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

    A poorly-graded soil is a soil that does not have a good representation of all sizes of particles from the no. 4 to no. 200 sieve. A poorly-graded gravel is classified as GP, while a poorly-graded sand is classified as SP. Poorly-graded soils are more susceptible to soil liquefaction than well-graded soils. [1]

  9. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_error_probable

    [1] [4] That is, if a given munitions design has a CEP of 100 m, when 100 munitions are targeted at the same point, an average of 50 will fall within a circle with a radius of 100 m about that point. There are associated concepts, such as the DRMS (distance root mean square), which is the square root of the average squared distance error, a ...
