Default Ballistic calculator for MOA/meters?

Reticle, turrets, and my brain operate in yards, inches and MOA. Rifle range is in meters. Easy enough to change the range finder, but is there an app that allows you to input range in meters and get a solution in MOA?

Why not convert meters to yards then adjust moa accordingly? 100m = 109.4yds

Default Couple apps I use

I know the iSnipe app switches back and forth easy. If your looking for an amazing free app try the hornady app. If you shoot there brand of bullet it is hard to beat.

I bought StrelokPro and it’s amazing for an app for shooting. I have 3 different rifles logged in there for long range shooting and the different ammo recipes and ballistics. Punch in everything with mild or MOA and it will tell you what you need to do in mils and MOA for dialling or hold over.

I just checked Strelok Pro and you can input range in either yards or meters and it will provide adjustments in MOA, MRAD, inches, or clicks.
Or you can make a table showing all 4 if you want.

Very useful app.

Cheers

Thanks guys I’ll check out strelok.

Funny thing was, even though the range is listed as 100 m (109 yards) the actual spot you fire from is at 105 yds. Real precisise stuff like that drives me crazy. Too windy to do any long range work, maybe next week.

Just about all of them will let you switch the outputs and ranges at leisure. I run the applied ballistics app and it is probably the most accurate I have used.

This ballistics aps, for that bullet, shows 8.12" drop @300 - which is pretty much exactly what I'm seeing.

http://gundata.org/ballistic-calculator/

Not sure if this one is accurate or not, and don't know if the muzzle velocity that if defaults to is accurate or not.

I'm also not a "shooter" - I am thrilled when my groups stay under .8 MOA or so @ 100.

They seem to open up a bit out at 300 in my untrained hands to >1 MOA for me.
