[QUOTE="Victorfmr24, post: 1039288, member: 87638"] Thanks do you think applied ballistics is a better option than bullet flight. My range finder gives me pressure, slope angle and temperature. I know there are many factors besides bullet drop. Here is what I've been dealing with. At 1050 yards the calculator is right on. Anywhere in between it has always hit a little high anywhere from 4 to eight inches. When it came to hunting last fall I would just go 1/2 to 3/4 under what it called for. It worked. My wife shot an elk at 800 yards. Dropped it one shot. I got my elk at 650 and my deer at 350. But the calculator is off. I bought an expensive gun so I wont ever grow out of it. I just need to learn how to get the right dope first shot. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
