[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 1107559, member: 28348"] just get the applied ballistics smart phone app. you really need it anyways. Then you need a kestrel or I use a wind mate. it gives me density altitude. I prefer using that because its one input instead of several. Then dial what the apps says you should dial based on all the conditions you enter manually. shoot a group at 500, then 800, then 1000, adjust your density altitude for each shot because it can change slightly. then go see if your high, low at each range. last time I did it I was high. in applied ballistics in the ballistic calibration you simply enter in what you observed for me I was about 6" high at 1000 yards, I was slightly high at the other ranges. so I entered in how much at each range, then hit calibrate. boom my load is calibrated. in my case it added 20fps to my load. well within chronograph error. end result is next time out I pulled out applied ballistics it happened to hit a local weatherstation, dead coyote at 991 yards, one shot one kill. all because of the ballistic calibration in applied ballisitics.
