Put your inputs and distance to target in here and let us use our calls to try to tell you how many mils to use

Varminterror said:you have mixed BC units. If I put in 2680fps, .536, and use G7 calculation, I get 7.2mils hold for 1,000yrds from StrelokPro. No doubt in my mind, that’s the answer to your problem. That’s why truing your velocity backs you down to 26xx FPS - it thinks you’re shooting an exceptionally high BC.
But he dialed up 7.1 mils, hit the target at 1,000 yards, then measured the MV to be 2,865 fps. That's the issue right? His app, just like everyone else's app shows somewhere around 8.2 to 8.4 mils needed for 1,000 yards but he hit the target with a mil less comeup. That's my understanding of the issue.
Yea, I need to shoot it with my range finder next time, and my guess is yes it is a bit lower. I did shoot other steel, but no the 1K. I would hope they got that one right.In your case, either the target is a little shorter than 1k or it’s below you......or a bit of both
Let me check that.you have mixed BC units. If I put in 2680fps, .536, and use G7 calculation, I get 7.2mils hold for 1,000yrds from StrelokPro. No doubt in my mind, that’s the answer to your problem.
No, it is off too, meaning I am doing something wrong in the ballistic app.how did the Seekins shooting the 6mm CM correlate to your app data?
Both scopes are doing the same thing, but that is a good idea.For instance, have you done a box test with that Bushnell scope to convince yourself that it's tracking properly? I know it was on the Seekins rifle and I remember that you took it out for some long range shooting a few weeks back, so did it perform as expected on that outing? Validating scope tracking should be one of the first tests for any rifle where dialing is expected. So many shooters just assume that it's good to go.
I cannot see the impacts at 1K, at 690 we were dead on.how big were your targets? And where on target were your impacts?
My chrono showed two shots, 2861 & 2867 at 94 degrees. That seemed logical to me at a startingish/fire forming load, definitely not max load.but there’s no way your velocity starts with 28, and damned sure it doesn’t start with 26...
mixed BC units.
Me too. If I change it to .275 at 2680, I get 9.6, which makes sense because 2680 is so slow. Change it to 2865 FPS and I get 8.2.you have mixed BC units. If I put in 2680fps, .536, and use G7 calculation, I get 7.2mils hold for 1,000yrds from StrelokPro
