[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2001643, member: 108965"] Ballistics apps are pretty cool for us that grew up shooting at longer distances using the Kentucky windage method. Most rifle cartridges sighted at 100 yds, will drop from 1" to 2" at 200 yds and 6" to 8" at 300 yds, yours with a 130gr bullet will shoot pretty flat. My 7mm Rem Mag I sight at it at 250 instead of 100, so I only have a drop of say 4" at 300 and I'm only 3" hight at 100. So I have whats called a point blank range up to 300, meaning I can take a shot at vitals and be dead on. It's good to be set up like this when you jave to take a quick shot at these ranges. I shoot Silhouette competition and used to set up dial up charts so I knew exactky how many clicks I neede to shoot at 500m with a 200m cero. With apps now you just look at the app and dial up. No need to set up a chart in advance anymore. Now charts are good to have when hunting, no time to look at the app, just look at the chart that accessible when taped to the rifle, dial up and shoot. Wind is a little different, that you need to learn how to read and then adjust as needed. Yes there is a little more to all this but this is the short version. Hope this helps and stay safe [/QUOTE]
