Ok thanks. I have been using the app that barrelnut suggested. It's real simple and works good. Free too! Measure Map is the name of it. It works great to set up a long range target.

@ barrenut-Measure Map? Thank you. That's what I was looking for.

Interesting. Thanks. I wonder if one of those working units could be found?

Yes I agree. I am trying to figure out how to measure distance out past say 2000 yards and not spend 2k or better on a rangefinder of that quality. I don't intend to use it for hunting. But more for the purpose of setting up a target at extended ranges and not breaking the bank in the process. I...

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of an App that can be downloaded for I-phone 7 that will calculate distance between two gps waypoints. Is there something like this that shooters are using?

To benchracer: Thanks for the link now I can do the math myself if need be. To Dennis: With your percentage info I better understand how to use SD after I arrive at what that # actually is. My hats off to both of you, thanks for the help!

Dennis that helps tremendously,Thank You. I believe I can work with that!

OK thanks that helps a lot!!!

I'm using a Caldwell and I downloaded an app to go with it but it never functioned properly. I usually average my figures on 15-20 shots fired to get my velocity. I just didn't really know how to figure SD.

I also had pretty good accuracy and about the same speed with H-4831sc, but the H-1000 was better. Hope that helps.

I shoot 200 gr Accobonds in my winchester model 70 30-06 with h-1000. That was by far the most accurate loading for me. I'm getting 2750 fps, but off the top of my head can't remember the charge weight and my load book is miles away.

OK thank you so much. To reach the number for ES would be pretty simple. But what about SD? Is it the average velocity of a string of shots? Or what is the method of calculation?

Could someone please explain the meaning of ES and SD as it pertains to reloading? I'm not sure what the abbreviations stand for..might be self-explanatory I don't know. Probably a dumb question but Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm sorry, not matchkings, I'm shooting 180 Sierra Gamekings in it.

No sir I have not...but when I receive my new rifle(06ai), I will be trying them. I own one 06ai already that I am really liking. It has a standard SAMI chamber, and I'm shooting 180 gr. Sierra Matchkings in it with IMR4350 getting 3030 fps. Its holding 1/4 moa @ 200 yd.s... However, I had a...
