[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1485031, member: 85306"] I know only what I have read and what I have been shown and it works for me in the field. Kestrel for all atmospherics, IR temp for my ammo, actual range for all atsmophric and wind adjustments, true horizontal range for my gravity drop this is what I feed my ballistics and it comes out pretty close. If I have any problems I check again all inputs I double check them before I shoot have been hasty in the past and that was the problem. After that I suspect my position and fundamentals of marksmanship. Then my weapon system if things dont change. Thirdly I will check my ammo to see I have changed something just slightly during reloading and make sure its consistency is good. If all that has not changed any thing I will shoot a good group of 5 to 10 rounds around 90% transonic and adjust BC as needed however if my vertical shoot desperation is great than I will not adjust any thing and just go back and recheck everything. I believe that good practice is not only just putting rounds on target especially those in the bull it's about learning why it did not happen that will stick with you the most. And the experience of trouble shooting is priceless for us and those we share it with. [/QUOTE]
