[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 780216, member: 4191"] This approach can work well if you practice under the same environmental conditions you hunt in. Taken to the optimum, you set up your targets where you expect to ambush the game animal and then shoot enough to develop your drop data before the animal steps out where your target used to be. With known and correct MV and BC (which can both be determined shooting over a chronograph during load development), a hunter whose limited to practicing at sea level can head out to hunt at 4000 or 10,000 feet. With accurate MV and BC, the hunter can use a quality ballistics software program and develop site and circumstance specific dope for any set of environmental conditions (variable station pressures and temperatures and winds) and shooting conditions (variable slopes, yardages, azimuths, latitudes). Again, the approach I'm identifying is helpful for guys who live in the lowlands and may have limited options to practice and develop measured drop charts at 4000 to 10,000 foot elevations in variable temperatures, yet hunt at elevations that vary from near sea level to 10,000 feet elevation. Employing a ballistics program to develop corrective dope for all environmental and shooting conditions encountered after the long range load has been developed [U]does require accurate MV and BC[/U].
