A while ago I recall a member who went out daily in whatever conditions were offered and attempted to put a first round shot on steel at various yardages. I believe he recorded each day and would post videos. I have exhausted my searching abilities. Can anyone help me find this thread?

I am running a Vortex Viper-PST 6x24-50. I did a box test a little while back and all seemed to check out. That is a good idea though, something could have happened between now and then. In my app, I have all the starting inputs correct. I used a magneto speed chrony for the velocity and a...

I am currently shooting a Savage model 110 FCP w/ HS Precision stock in 338 Lapua. I will be honest in saying that I should have kept better records at the range during load development. This may have been part of why i struggle to find that perfect recipe. At this point I am still not sure if I...

korhil, when I replcae the .587 BC with your suggested .614 BC the output is 19.5 MOA. Still doesnt get me close to the 18.0 I dialed. lamiglas, that is the only thing I wasn't consistant with. I zeroed the rifle sitting on my bench with bipod and rear bag. I shot 818 yds prone, with the same...

By turret calibration, do you mean adjusting the value of 1 click = .25" to a different value?

Good idea. To asnwer your first question my ES is 13 Fps. Below I will supply all program inputs. Muzzle Velocity= 2840 Fps Zero Rnage= 100 yds Sight Height= 1.9" Click Value= 0.25" Bullet Mass= 250 GR (.338 Sierra MatchKing) BC= .587 G1 Temp When Zeroed= 73 degrees Pressure WHen Zeroed= 28.85...

just a -3 degree decline

That could be some of the issue. I still get 19.5 MOA up for 820 using the same conditions as the evening I tested. Where did you get that BC from and what ballistic program are you using?

Yep, verified that too. Are you guys in aggreeance with me that a 100 FPS velocity change seems a bit much to correct the program?

My scope height is good. I've checked all my inputs over several time and everything is spot on. The main thing that bothers me is, I am pretty confident in the Magneto Speed Velocity. Changing it by over 100 fps to obtain my drop @ 820yds seems a bit much to me.

To make a long story short, I worked up a load that my Savage 110 FCP HS Precision in 338 Lapua Mag likes. Shooting quarter MOA @ 100yds with 250GR Sierra MK's. Shot it through my Chrony and over a Magnetospeed. Chrony says avg fps were 2800. Magneto says 2840. I plugged the 2840 and all other...

Thanks for the input JARHEAD. I have accuratley accounted for MV, zero range, scope height, G1 BC, Range (to the yd), Temp., Baro Pres., Angle of Shot, and Altitude. One thing that I have done is entered a station pressure for my Baro. Pres. To my understadning, I should then enter 0 for my...

In the past couple months I have been plinking with my .223 Remington. I first worked up an acceptably accurate load at 100 yds. I then found my MV using an average of many rounds shot through my chronograph. I then plugged that MV, along with enviormental conditions, into my ballistic program...

Thanks again for the continued help! This rifle has only had 30 rnds down the tube so they may be a big contributing factor to my testing thus far. I am not one for a religous break in of the barrel but have been cleaning every 4-6 shots since the first 5 rounds have been put down range. The...

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep any additional thoughts coming. To answer Angus' question this is a bone stock rifle. I took it off the shelf, slapped a Vortex Viper PST 6 x 24 -50 on it and started load development. I was going to put it through the rounds before having any work done to...
