[QUOTE="Shumba, post: 625135, member: 12337"] Shooter is a good program that works. Ballistic programs are not magic, they simply calculate complex mathematical formulas based on provided numbers. The calculations don't lie. If the come up does not match the real world trajectory the reason is in incorrect input. To add another issue to the equation is that there are variables that affect known variables, changing what you thought to be correct, especially at extreme range. Things like BC changes over the trajectory and shedding of velocity. Possibly a colder than normal day reducing the known MV of the bullet, headwind that was not taken into account. Maybe spin drift was not enabled along with a crosswind forcing the bullet down.......all of these are but a few things that could cause false results with any ballistics program. At ranges like that it really is near to impossible to know the true inputs. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
