    M855 ballistic chart with MIL and range

    Ok my mind works in yards because I'm American, but I got a mil scope (NX8 1-8). I'm looking for a simple numerical chart to use somewhat like a BDC. Simple loadout of M855 with a 14.5" barrel, 100 yard zero.
    I'm looking for, from left to right:

    Range (yards 0-500)
    Range (meters)
    Mil drop
    MOA drop
    Inch drop

    All of the charts that I see online have more or less information than I need.
    Thanks

    Just download the Strelok app on your phone. You can create ballistic charts and email them to yourself to print out if you choose. You can choose what info you want on the charts, mils, moa, inch drop, distance, velocity, time of flight, etc. You can print out the reticle you're using with bullet drops on it. Super useful.

    I just downloaded the Strelok app and I'm going to figure that one out.
    Thanks for the help guys

    Your sight height is low. Try 2.6 i nches

    And, the velocity is just a tad slow, it is spec-ed at 3000 fps at 78 feet, or around 3165 fps.

    EDIT: the BC of .151 is for the G7, for G1 BC, it is .304

    Mils doesn’t have anything to do with meters.

    Chrono the ammo you want to use and plug the numbers into a ballistic calculator.

    I used shooters calculator. I also just did a general search for BC and velocity for m855.

    Oh, the velocity of M855 out of a 14.5" barrel is 2820 fps.

    Now, I think you have everything you need.
