[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1579482, member: 13632"] If you use a quality Chrono like a magneto speed or labradar, you use real time environmental data, you plug real verified BC numbersnand data into a decent ballistics app and your scope tracking is decent you should have no need to start tuning velocity or BC by anything meaningful till 1000+ yards. If your having to tune either of those numbers by 600 your data is no good. My typical dial in after verifying tracking and all the measurements is to fire a few rounds from a hunting shooting possition with the magspeed, shoot for zero at 100 and go to 300 and tune my zero hight, then one reound at 600, 800, 1000, 1500 and I may tune my velocity a few feet per second between 1000 and 1500. If your tuning big time inside 600 yards you'll find your ballistics won't move conditions well and you'll enter a teater totter effect in your tune between near and far ranges. [/QUOTE]
