[QUOTE="Herr Nagler, post: 1580868, member: 109104"] Your issue is quite common. The numbers that come out of a ballistic calculator are a prediction, nothing more. I would say that you are doing better than most if you are only off by 1/4 MOA at 300+ yards. You just need to “tweak” the bc number(s) you are using to a slightly lower value until the elevation predictions that come out of your ballistic calculator match what you observe in the field and then call it good. As other already mentioned, there are several factors like scope tracking that contribute to this common issue not the least of which is bc changes constantly in flight as velocity drops off.
