[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 165252, member: 1522"] Shawn, I can do amazing things with a ballistic program as I understand how they work and how to get the programs results to match my actual shooting data. What I can't do is reverse the process and get my actual shooting data to match my program data and that’s what you’re trying to do. It won’t work. I haven’t played with the chrony ballistic program so I can’t offer an opinion on how good or bad it is. You need to shoot and record your actual POA to POI at 100 yard increments out to 300 yards. Beyond 300 yards, 50 yard increments work better than 100 yard increments. Again record your actual POA to POI. Don’t touch your scope turrets. Just record how much drop you actually have at each yardage. Now if you’re a range a click guy like I am and realizing scope turrets are seldom exact, now figure out how many clicks your scope takes to get you to each 100 yard or 50 yard increment. This way you have a range card to take hunting. Now you can take that data and work it into a ballistic program to get it to match your actual range data. Out to 350 yards even if you change altitude and temperature by a lot your actual field results won’t be that far off. Hope it helps [/QUOTE]
