[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 382236, member: 4191"] :) Ha! Always a spoiler in any crowd! To be honest, I have to prove my loads and equipment at long range anyhow. Incorporating the down range chrono data collection after I've selected a test load for proofing at long range is just one added task that provides confidence and peace of mind. Now that I own the equipment, I enjoy adding this additional level of data collection and validation into my LRH preparation process. Once I chronograph the down range velocity, if I don't get a good match (I did in this instance) to ballistic software predicted velocity, then I tweak the drag or ****** coefficient in my ballistic software until my predicted down range velocity matches my chronographed down range velocity. In this manner I know I'm inputting BC related information that's dead nutz 'on the mark' for that specific bullet and load in my specific rifle. Then when I'm hunting in other atmospheric conditions at widely differing ranges, elevations (station pressure), and temperatures, I have every reason to believe that the LoadBase 3.0 predicted dope will also be dead nutz on the money. Most everyone develops drop charts, which are only good under the set of atmospheric conditions at which the drop chart shooting was performed. My method enables the creation of accurate real time drop charts for any set of atmospheric conditions, altitudes, latitudes, angle of shot, and direction of aim. Chances are good you already knew most all of this. But that's where I'm coming from in case you or others are wondering why all the fuss. If all else fails, sometimes I just tell folks "I'm an engineer" and they seem to understand - or else give up. :) However... if it wasn't interesting, enjoyable, useful to my needs, and rewarding I wouldn't force it on myself. :D [/QUOTE]
