[QUOTE="soundwaves, post: 1379413, member: 15819"] l have been looking for a good metric ballistic calculator since forever. no ballistic calculator till today has given me accurate estimates. l put in everything right ( scope height, altatude.....) and the results are allways the saim. shows more drop than reality but close to 400 yards then the drop is way bigger than my actual shots at longer ranges. 3 moa differance at 550 yards. l dont reload so lm guessing maybe its my barrel. or my factory load is much faster than what is sais on the box. in this case ( federal power-shock 175GR 7mm rem mag advertised at 2860 fps from a standard barrel length) l cant mesure my velocity as l dont own a device to do so. so l just developed my own drop chart. lm ALLMOST at the saim lvl of a 7mmRUM acording to the calculators drop charts. yeah so l stoped looking at calculators. only use them to get on paper at closer ranges if l need to. dont spend alot of ammo developing charts either. just fire 1 shot, hold the crosshair on bulls eye and tell a mate to dial till the crosshair gets to the point of impact. so its just 1 bullet for every step of your chart. 2 if you wanna check. 20-40 bullets for 0-1000 yards with 50 yard intervals. typed all this stuff for new comers to check if thay happen to come across it.
