[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 145706, member: 13"] [ QUOTE ] Also does this program account for gryrscopic lateral and vertical movements associated with a right or left twist barrel (Precession, Magnus, Bernoulli's, Coning, Yaw of Repose) or do you have to figure that out on your own? [/ QUOTE ] Use all of your technology to get it close during field practice or maybe I should say confirm and reconfirm the data with actual shooting at the ranges you consider a possibility. Better yet practice with your field rest(s). For instance, when I started using the 200 grain Wildcat bullet I placed the BC @ .850 and with the conditions I dialed for 600 yards (repeatability of turrets and if they actually move the amount they say can be another issue) and my shot was on the steel but it was low.

If it does, I just have not used it yet. Now I guess I need to check and see if it does [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
