[QUOTE="Red hunter, post: 765644, member: 40502"] A couple weeks ago I was reading a thread comparing the 210 and the 200 Berger bullets with plenty of first shot kills over varying yardages. In this reading I believe the writer stated he put in 777 yards and there was a 10mph 3o'clock wind plus other data and was given a shooting dope from his ballistic calculator. I believe he stated this gave him about a 24 inch wind drift. I input this in strelock and came up with 17 inches or so. I chalked up the difference to a phone app and a high dollar ballistic calculator. Who am I to argue with the result of a one shot kill at that range. I tried several altitude adjustments and shooting angles and never came close. I figured the best results are always shooting cards for me. At least till I can afford the real deal. [/QUOTE]
