[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1464117, member: 17889"] Introduce your engineer friend to the real world of ballistics. With his technical orientation he will be immediately addicted. He just doesn't know what he doesn't know yet. Suggest he explore Applied Ballistics Youtube channel. He would go bonkers in attending Applied Ballistics Seminar....you get all their ballistic books and ballistic solver included. Bullet Drop Dials are for those individuals that do not understand ballistics and long range shooting. They start out only as accurate as the DOPE provided to the dial manufacturer, but deteriorate from there. AB WEZ Analysis (Weapon Employment Zone) allows one to explore the minor uncertainties impact on hit probability. Changing Station Pressure (don't confuse with barometric pressure), Temp, muzzle velocity (changes with temp), direction of fire (Coriolis Effect), spin drift, bullet jump, inclination of fire, etc......all make for differing ballistics in every situation requiring updated ballistic firing solution. These are NEVER taken into consideration after the custom dial is made.....you are stuck with that one combination of variables. [/QUOTE]
