Ebr 4 Moa Reticle
Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-1 MOA 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 1 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.
7 MOA reticle holdover at 400 yards. No wind.
