[QUOTE="ForgivenAll, post: 1744966, member: 30897"] Hey, that's good news! That potentially weeds out your turret tracking question. Now, on to getting your ballistics solver to match what your bullets are actually doing... what I have had to do on my rifles, and I think consistent with others, is use my measured muzzle velocity in the solver (since that value is a known quantity and is highly accurate with that Magnetospeed), then just modify my ballistic coefficient until my calculated drop matches my actual drop. At least then you are covered out to the farthest distance tested. Extrapolating beyond there is closer than before but ultimately requires field verification. [/QUOTE]
