Need some help here. A buddy was talking about MPBR when he goes shooting. As I understand it this is the maximum range at which you need not adjust your elevation to allow for bullet drop. Is this correct. In essence it eliminates hold over out to a given distance depending on the particular round. Am I on the right track??
So the question is why do I see people calculating for bullet drop at even short distances? I have seen guys shoot at say 150 yards and allow for an inch or two of drop. I would think this would be applicable for a .22 long but for a 22-250?
In the military when they use optics such as Eotech is the "dot" an indication of MPBR, in other words just put the dot on center of mass and its good to go be the distance 50 yds or 100 yards?
I'm not clear on the application of MPBR and if it is a good gague why all the fussing with calculating drop etc unless of course I'm a sniper trying to take out a target at 600 yards.
Thanks
