[QUOTE="rammac, post: 1979062, member: 27761"] That video is poorly done, it states that you are finding the true muzzle velocity but you are actually adjusting the muzzle velocity in the ballistics software to match up with the drop at the target, that's called "truing" the software and it can produce muzzle velocity numbers that are way off of the true value. While the muzzle velocity is the main factor that effects bullet velocity at short ranges (300 yards or less) the BC value also has an effect and will create some errors in estimating the muzzle velocity. I've had bullets that required a trued muzzle velocity of a couple hundred feet per second higher than my actual muzzle velocity based on the impacts on a 400 yard target. You really need a chronograph in order to know what your true muzzle velocity is. But don't forget that you need to true your ballistics software for real field conditions. [/QUOTE]
