[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 565897, member: 3745"] Have you checked you scope to verify it actually moves 1 moa when you dial 1 moa? The adjustments on scopes (even good ones) are not always exactly on. You did not mention if you have a chronograph or if you are using data book velocities?? How many shots are you taking your average from if you are using a chrono? Make sure you have your "sight height" set accurately. Do not guess, measure it. Use Brian Litz G7 BC rather than the G1 BC if your program supports it. I used to always struggle getting my programs to match up with the real world. I have since learned to make sure I have ALL the data in my program correct, no guesswork on environmental conditions and other parameters. Now my ballistic program ("Shooter" for android on my phone) is usually dead on or very close. If you are certain you have everything else right, as others have said you can play around with the BC and MV to get your results match as close as possible. How much are your actual results off from your range results? Are you shooting groups and averaging the group or just one or two shots at each range? [/QUOTE]
