CONvERTING TRAJECTORy DATA TO MIL hOLDOvERS
To calculate holdovers you must first obtain your round's trajectory data. Look at the ammunition manufacturer's website, in a
manufacturer's brochure, or use a ballistic software program. You will need the Bullet Path data for a 100-yard zero, in hundred-yard
increments.
The following ballistic information example refers to the Federal .308 168-gr. BTHP Match Round and a 100-yard zero. The left column
lists the cartridge's trajectory in inches at 100-yard increments. The next column contains the mil-size in inches at these same
distances. Divide the trajectory by the mil size at each distance to find the holdover in Mils.
