[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 393511, member: 4191"] Hey, I'd take that 3-shot group at that distance any day of the week. I'd still trade my chrono's! :) Coriolis & spin drift will play a significant role at 1400 yds. Even at 1000 yds. Spin drift rate increases at increasing distance. I can't remember well enough to explain why, but it does. I get a little more coriolis at 61 degree North Latitude than you will down there. But do incorporate the spin drift and coriolis dope for - I'd say - 800 yds on out. [I][U]Especially[/U][/I] anything from 1000 yds on out. Pretty sure that if you get all your stuff confirmed and entered properly, LB3 will put you on the mark. Yes - check your turret values and ensure that the real-life correct value is entered correctly in LB3. Nightforce is supposed to have their act together, but you never know until you field check your turret/click values. Since you've been an Exbal user for quite some time, be sure to let us know how the two measure up after you get more familiar with LB3. I've got a hunch you're gonna be one of our LB3 experts in short order. I'll be the one asking you questions. Seems like you shoot more than most. I went with LB largely based on the Threads and Posts Eaglet provided over the years. He's used a number of different ballistics software programs and boasted about LB to the point I couldn't stand it any longer - had to buy it. And no regrets from me. The customer support is the best. This thread is just one example of "Gus to the Rescue". [/QUOTE]
