Adamdavi3s Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 They won't ever be exact for every scenario as you quite rightly point out. However you do the calculations for a given set of variables and produce the wrap based on what markings you want, there isn't any ballistic calculation in the production. It's all pre-production. As someone else suggested above, you could get some additional turrets and build wraps for a range of scenarios, which is exactly what I am hoping to do.

If you get chance could you please clarify the calculations required, I've as Hunter686 suggests but they still don't match up! Many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Shooting at 3 or 400yds there would be very little innit but at 1000yds it would or could be moa's out.i would like to try one out if somebody want to try making one for a mk4 leupold.i could give the data needed.

Grouse Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Diameter of the turrets X 3.14 then divide that number by how many moa in a revolution (clicks) in my case 80 for the NF and that will give you the exact spacing for your hash marks Cannot get it to work for me! Using an NXS scope 0.250MOA, my measurements are 29.972mm diameter therefore circumference is 94.112mm 40 clicks per turret which gives me 2.352mm hash spacing available label height is 10.16mm When i enter the coordinates into QCAD, the length of the "X" axis only allows me to enter 17 hash marks??? I must be missing something? Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamdavi3s Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Have you definitely set the grid size to be correct? Do feel free to email me the file and I can take a quick look! Adamdavi3s at gmail dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am thinking its something strange about the grid spacing? Its almost as if its an error with the spacing/sizing of the grid coordinates...very frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised you can't see my hash marks on the screen shot. But you can see them from that view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you're defo in the drawing prefs and not the application prefs, they look very very similar but changing the grid in the application setting does not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamdavi3s Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Still can't get the colour change. Do you have to set the layers up prior to drawing the wrap or can it be done after? Sorry I have finally managed to add this to the original post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi chaps, Couple of tips..... I was completely unable to sort out the grid the background to match my click measurements so (with plenty of time on my hands) I individually placed my hash marks for the first 5 MOA of my 20 Moa turrets. So the first hash was placed at ref 0-0, with the next at 1.17, the next at 2.34 etc etc and so on. Then I highlighted the first 5 moa and the copied and pasted overlapping the end hash marks. For me this worked and possibly it will for others who's grid is not working. Second tip, ensure that if converting to PDF to print (like I did), ensure your zoom is set to 'window' or 1:1 - otherwise you may have a perfect grid that's way way too big!!! Worth the effort and thanks for the originally write -up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Onto windage turrets, how do you get the little box with pointed wind direction onto the grid? Cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamdavi3s Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I made it up with lines, if you download my file from the original post then you might be able to copy and paste one from my file into yours, but I haven't tried I am afraid!

Adamdavi3s Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Please do share your own creations guys! Plus if you get a file finished for your scope, do let me know as I can add them all to the original post and we can start a library! We can always just upload base files so all the measuring is done and people can add their own ballistics on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey but by the reviews waterproof! Still cheaper than ordering from a custom turret seller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
