[QUOTE="cdoubleu, post: 2306450, member: 18034"] Threee likely issues to have that big of a difference: 1) The calculation is set up for a G7 and you are inputing the G1 value. 2) The scope is set up in your ballistic calculator as milRAD and you are assuming it’s MOA. 3) Velocity is set up in your ballistic calculator as meters/sec instead of ft/sec. Atmosphere won’t make that big of difference at 300yds unless you lugged your rig up to the top of Everest. Nor will aerodynamic jump, Coriolis effect, or a litany of other factors. I’ve used about a dozen different calculators over the years, at the ranges we are talking about they are at worst a click off. It’s an input issue for sure. I’d recommend starting from scratch or your profile. [/QUOTE]
