[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 284177, member: 951"] What uncorrected bar-pressure actualy does is changes your BC, it makes you miss and miss big! I wear a Lacrosse technologies wristwatch with a barometer which I calibrate weekly. to measure my scope heighth, I use dial calibers (with action out of the stock) I measure the bell of the scope, then at the same place measure the barrel, then measure from the top of the bell of the scope to the bottom of the barrel, subtract half of each from the total scope/barrel measurement and your set. correct your velocity for actual MV, instead of 15' from the muzzle Put all your information in as accurately as you can get it, you'll probably still be off due to differences in your actual BC and what the maker claims, then you adjust for that, knowing all your info is correct so it has to be BC varience Then shoot at 400, 500, 600 and measure your actual drops, then just tweak the BC in your program until your program matches your actual drops. once your right on at 400,500,600 it just stands to reason that it will be on at 700,800,and 900 yards. so you get it tuned in to 400,500,600,700,800,900, whats the odds its right at 1K?
