[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 613820, member: 24624"] You're right. Math is math. But, there are a number of reasons why different software may give different solutions especially as you extend your distance. - different assumptions (e.g. atmospheric conditions, scope height, inches or true MOA, corriolis, spin drift) - rounding error (depending on how the program was written) - software bugs (there are sometimes bugs in the application, libraries, or even a chipset) - sloppiness (did the programmer ever think you'd shoot past 1000 yds?) - stacking error (a little bit here and there adds up at longer ranges) Similarly, shooting results may deviate from software predictions for a variety of reasons. -- richard [/QUOTE]
