Thanks

Thanks guys. On my charts that I use I currently have it converted to clicks in 50 yd increments out to 1000 yds and also 5 elevations starting at 5000 ft above sea level. Actually I used the ballistics calculated on this site to make my cheat sheet so maybe the current Leica system would be...

Thats interesting. I am thinking to wait one more year. My current system is not as elaborate with my lamanated cheat cards taped to my HS precision stock but i know that they are accurate and have confidence in them. I am more intersted in not having to carry my range finder. Actually I was...

Thanks cc I will order one right away and will purchase the app you suggested on my IPhone right away. Do you use the Leica hs-b ?

Great advise So I am then doing a field validating but rather than tweaking the fps on the chart to match up the actual field test rather than tweaking the BC So it sounds like as long as I am willing to do field validation the fact that the Leica internal data uses G1 and not g7 should not...

Just ran the actual g7 BC (.222) using litz chart and now am am only seeing bout 6 inches of drop difference at 1000 yds vs the g1 calculation. Does that sound more like reality? Thats very little difference and I could actually tweek the G1 number until it matched the g7 chart and enter the...

Thanks venatic!! Yes that makes sence now. The Barnes website publishes the BC at .47 and yet the bullet design would indicate tat the G7 would be more accurate. How would I find the BC based on G7 ? It is confusing that the Leica ballestics chart has the heading of G7 but uses only G1 on the...

I just ran two charts on my Barnes bullet. BC of .47 out to 1000 yards one using G1 the other using G7 with all data entry the same. there is 90 inches difference in drop according to the 2 charts. is that even possible !! According to the charts I ran using my bullistics app , the Leica data...

sounds like the g1calcs vs the g7 calcs are not an issue out to 1000 yds. I will take a look at the 2 charts on my barnes bullet. Actually when producing a bullestics chart for my gun I do a field test validation and end up tweaking the fps on the input data slightly from the actual to make the...

thanks for the tip

Thanks. Shooting custom load in my 300wsm Using Barnes 168gr at 3100 fps So is the g7 or g1 just for input in the custom chip or is the software that is built into the binocular the issue. In otherwords if I purchase them and later Leica has the g7 data will it be able to recognize the new...

does anyone know if the new Leica HD-B bino/rangefinder will now do calculations using G7 rather than G1 ? I know the last time I checke the calculations for the chip were only done using G1. Thanks for your help and input as I am currenly deciding what to buy. Ray

Here is a no cost tool idea that works for me.Using one of your spent brass take a dremmel tool with ultra thin cutting tip and cut 2 or 3 cuts in the end of brass to allow the bullet to slide in and out when (firmly) pushed and pulled by hand. You can then place the bullet in the brass just a...

HAHA I here ya on the fish story for sure! My son in law was along and he would not even let me round up to the next yard!haha I am sure glad I listened to those of you that encouraged going with top notch equipment from the start rather than go low budget and upgrade later. Always cost more...

My300wsm liked the Barnes ttsx over the partition at 400 plus yds. but just could be my particular rifle. The Barnes has harvested me 3 bull elk in last 3 years with this past year shot being 685 yds with no 2nd shot. That Barnes went all the way through him!! I'm sold but as I am learning it...
