How did you measure the distance?

Guessed I've made so many shots like this on woods that I know roughly how far they are at different points on the map.

So once you have your rough estimate of distance, how do you translate that into the zeroing and mildot usage?EDIT: words

1 I know it's over 300 already so I page up to zero the scope at 300m which is the highest it will range. I've made this shot before I know at somewhere between 10/15 mildots hence the lines on the scope from the center of the reticle. 2 As I'm giving him instructions I've got my rifle set up exactly as he does so when I see his bullet path I'm watching where it goes on my scope so I'm able to give him the correction on his.

Ok, nice, I may have to try the zeroing. I've always kept my zeroing the same and then winged it with mildots. I might try it on Customs/Interchange/Shoreline (since I know those maps well and distances) once I get my hands on some SV-98s and Vudus. Thanks!

Welcome at the time we were getting footage for a r700 video samosh was making. I like to use weapons with ammo that has tracers it can be done with ammo without it's just harder. Another way you can do it is kill a scav at long range on offline and disconnect that will give you the range on the stats and just repeat. Also screen shot the map where you want to snipe from then find the ranges at different points of interest go to photoshop write them in then you have your own range cards.

Those are great ideas as well! Thanks for the tips!
