That looks to be pretty close to what you got at the range. The website is: <a href="http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi</a>. I get about the same values using the Shooter's Calculator with 300 yards being 1.90 m.o.a., 400 yards being 4.18 m.o.a, and 500 yards being 6.78 m.o.a. The Shooter's Calculator site is at: <a href="http://www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php" target="_blank">http://www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php</a>. They're both within about 2.2 inches of your verified impact for each range listed. Both show you at about 5.7 inches low at 300, where you are about 7.5 inches low, a difference of about 1.8 inches, 4.2 moa or 16.8 inches at 400 yards, and 4.75 actual, which is 19.0 inches drop, a difference of 2.2 inches, and 6.8 or 6.78 moa or 33.7 to 34 inches, where you are getting 33.5 inches. You're never going to get a calculator that will be exact. But these are within about 0.6 m.o.a. of your stated results. Hope this helps.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p>
