I just got an email from the author of the FTE app, Jonathan Zdziarski, concerning this thread. He reports "compatibility will be fixed in 2.5.1." I'm not sure which part he is going to fix, but at least he is listening to us and making improvements to the app.

orangeride your right, what I mean is I will leave the zero setting "off" and just zero my rifle with the spin drift included in the zero for 300 yds. I don't think you need to run your shot twice through FTE for wind and spin drift, unless you want to know what each is separately. I've...

I realized the very same thing last night. I think my work around will be to dial the spin drift in my scope as part of my 300 yard zero and set the drift zero setting to off.

It does convert to G7 if you ask it to. However, I noticed the other day when I did this it took a multiple velocity bracketed G1 BC and converted it to a single G7 BC. This could have been an error on my part. The single G7 BC did put me right on though.

FTE can accept multiple velocity bracketed BC's. It has several stored in its memory and the software author just updated it to accept user define-multiple BC values.

I second that, great book, great tables. Sometimes a G1 is better than a G7 and Brian's book indentifies these.

Great article and thank you for the links to the software

In your post on the Re: Altitude vs. Barometric pressure string you mention that you use the density altitude in the Pejsa software, so then what values do you enter for the temp. and pressure? I heard you leave them alone, which could mean leave them at zero, or strandard temp and pressure, 59...
