[QUOTE="djtjr, post: 1088630, member: 13195"] Guys what are some of the tips and tricks you use in establishing your dope/drop charts? What are the details of your procedure from start to finish What are the variables you prefer to tweak to get theoretical drops to match up with field results. I feel like lately to get my field drops to match what my various balistic calcs say they should be based on velocity and bc I have to adjust velocity by well over 100 fps to get close. This is off an ohler so I am assuming its not that far off. Again that's all a starting point and you need to verify in the field and confirm dopes but in running a search I didn't find the level of detail I was looking for so wanted to see what are the most useful tips and tricks you guys have found fromo start to finish. Would you rather tweak BC which often isnt shown in a balistic calc but rather a hidden variable or tweak velocity to match things up? Or would you rather just get actual drops at a few yardges and tweak both till you get them to match up as closely as actual field drops. Any thoughts or details on your procedures from start to finish would be very helpful. Thanks and all the best, Don [/QUOTE]
