[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1642762, member: 104268"] One thing I see that may be inflating the BC you're getting is that you have standard sea level pressure (29.92), but "pressure is corrected" as no. Barometric pressure is a key input for getting an accurate BC. The fact that you're getting the same answer over and over is a good sign, but I suspect you're actual atmospheric density is lower than what your inputs are telling the calculator, therefore it thinks the air is "thicker", and is returning an inflated BC. As I mentioned above, if you want to get as accurate a BC as possible, you need to record the actual pressure/temp/humidity where and when you took the shot. If you can't, you at least need to enter a corrected station pressure from a nearby weather provider. [/QUOTE]
