[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1317032, member: 74902"] Bugz, welcome to the forum. There's lots of environment parameters and calculations needed to get to 1k. Some of them change by the minute, like wind and temp. The best way to get a solution is to use a ballistic calculator. There is a link to very good one on this site. (link is below). What is really good however are some of the ballistic apps for smartphones. They are extremely popular and some are even free. Shooter, Strelok, and Applied Ballistics are some of the more popular ones. Get one and try it. They will help you merge all of this into a fairly accurate vertical and windage solution for your shooting situation. Sometimes you have to tweet things like the BC entry or velocity to get them to line up with your rifles actual drop, but it is usually easy to do.
