[QUOTE="shortpants, post: 684972, member: 30564"] RDM416, I have 2 questions for you. I use the Bulletflight program and when it comes to turning on SD the only thing I see is the on/off switch. Is there a place to enter in twist rate and length of bullet? I'm guessing it gets bullet weight from the projectile data base and twist rate is the standard for the particular bullet selected? I know you said you weren't trying to start an argument so please don't take me questioning you as I am taking a stab at you. I'm simply trying to learn so here's my second question. You said you try to keep all your shots inside a 6" dot at any yardage but you don't correct for CE inside 1000yds. Your 6" of SD at 1000yds matches my #'s so I'll assume our correction for CE would be a close match as well. Without correcting for CE that puts my bullets 2.9" to the right of my POA. That would put your shots on the edge of your 6" dot if all other factors were accounted for perfectly which in my case is unlikely. My question is if it's as easy as selecting on or off on your program and your already doing it for SD why not just leave them both on all the time? Again please don't think I'm trying to start an argument I'm just wondering if me leaving them both on for all my shots is a bad idea? I appreciate your help, you've given me great advise in the past and I'm grateful. When I look at bigbuck's target it appears that his group is 8"-9" to the right of his POA which is what made me think of this. Thanks again, Jason [/QUOTE]
