[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1614445, member: 93846"] Unless you shoot YOUR ammunition, in YOUR rifle, in YOUR conditions that you expect to shoot in, including; atmospheric, elevation, temperature, etc., at the actual ranges you have Leupold index on your dial, and you properly document all the data, especially your elevation adjustments (come-ups) for each distance, and then send them to Leupold, they are going to have to rely on ballistics calculations based on the velocity and other data you provide, to make your custom dial. If you provide them with incorrect data, or if they estimate your expected velocity or other data incorrectly, you are going to get incorrect dial indexing! How far off the dial will be from such errors, will be directly proportional to the error that is input. As with any ballistics calculations; "junk in equals junk out!" BUT, with the proper inputs, today's ballistics calculators can be very accurate. [/QUOTE]
