DMR range finding and mil-dots test-out table

[Daddy'o 4]

I was going to reply with this to the other DMR thread that's on the first page at the time of writing this, but isntead I decided to make a fresh thread for it as I'm hoping it will be of more help and more easily found this way.

I would first like to say I didn't intend to spread these numbers online only for the reason that I'm not anyway trained nor have any real experience nor have I the know-how related to zeroing weapons.

These figures are purely tested out case by case, moving 25 meters back and forth on the North Western Airport using the ArmA 2 In-game editor. I tested each range, moving back and forth until I found a spot where I could lay a headshot precisely and repeatedly using the mil-dots aimed at the head.

Be mindful the mil-dot ranges and the range-finding figures are both approximates and not factual. Having said that tho, they are completely recreatable and are reliable. I've been playing with these figures glued on the sides of my screen with post-its for a long time and they've served me well. My team even asks me for these figures on VOIP when they're scoping out people themselves and have yet to complain about a miss.

There will be a youtube video of my testing, yes I frapsed the whole thing to prove these numbers.

So first off I'd like to get this out of the way; the DMR is zeroed at 300 flat when fully zoomed. Trust me. Yes the wiki is wrong.

Here are the mil-dot ranges. They obviously vary with your level of zoom so here are both unzoomed and fully zoomed (but nothing in between).

unzoomed:

0. mil-dot 175 meters

1. mil-dot 400 meters

2. mil-dot 600 meters

3. mil-dot 800 meters

4. mil-dot about 935 (bit inaccurate due to target size at this range)

fully zoomed:

0. mil-dot 300 meters

1. mil-dot 425 meters

2. mil-dot 500 meters

3. mil-dot 575 meters

4. mil-dot 650 meters

Range finding lists I tested with hand-eye coordinated measuring using the scope:

Mil-dot height by leveling the crosshair horizontal line just under targets feet:

Standing / Crouched / Prone

Fully zoomed:

7.0 / 5.3 / 2.2 = 250 meters

8.0 / 4.5 / 1.7 = 300 meters

5.5 / 4.0 / 1.5 = 350 meters

4.8 / 3.5 / 1.4 = 400 meters

4.2 / 3.1 / 1.3 = 450 meters

4.0 / 2.9 / 1.2 = 500 meters

3.6 / 2.6 / 1.1 = 550 meters

3.4 / 2.2 / 1.0 = 600 meters

3.0 / 2.1 / 0.9 = 650 meters

2.8 / 2.0 / 0.8 = 700 meters

2.5 / 1.9 / 0.7 = 750 meters

2.2 / 1.7 / 0.6 = 800 meters

Unzoomed:

4.6 / 3.2 / 1.2 = 150 meters

3.5 / 2.4 / 1.0 = 200 meters

2.9 / 2.0 / 0.9 = 250 meters

2.1 / 1.6 / 0.7 = 300 meters

1.9 / 1.2 / 0.5 = 350 meters

1.7 / 1.1 / 0.4 = 400 meters

1.5 / 1.0 / 0.3 = 450 meters

1.2 / 0.9 / 0.2 = 500 meters

Hope they're of use to you.

Happy hunting!

Cool table I will have to test it out.

Best place to test out any weapons

easy download, will be testing out table later to see if it fits!

Thanks again OP

Cool I'll try it out and re-adjust the figures if needed. Please report back if you find inconsistencies.

Sorry to say that but your list is incorrect.

When i fully zoom with the DMR it is as following:

1.Dot: 475m

2.Dot: 550m

3.Dot: 625m

4.Dot: 700m

For unzoomed im still uncertain. Tested it on

Your range estimations however are true.
