[QUOTE="husky300, post: 739010, member: 60684"] Okay just when I have given up hope I have a glimmer of chance show up. So if I am confident in my BC you are saying that would work? What would that formula look like? I will tell you my thought process of how I would do this that might give you guys a better idea of my thought process. . transpose data on to a full sheet of plywood from a ballistic chart for my given velocity and range give to me from my ballistic calculator taking into a effect the ballistic coefficient and barometric pressure. Then I would shoot a good 100 yd zero. back myself off as far as my range finder will let me (about 550+ yds). Adjust my scope according to my calculator and shoot another group. Now go down range and take my elevation measurement Take the difference and start plugging FPS until my calculator numbers match my measurements. Of courses i would verify at say 300 to make sure of my calculations. Basically the more I'm actually thinking about this the more I'm actually trying to fudge my calculator into giving me wrong data but data that matches my loads? [/QUOTE]
