[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1005435, member: 10291"] I think that actual range verification for drops trumps all else, particularly if conditions are pretty constant where you are shooting. Out past 700-800 yards it can get trickier if encountering material changes in temperature, elevation, angle, etc. I initially started my long range shooting quite similar to the OP's approach and did well. Given the BC's are well established, I would tune with velocity. Over time, particularly when I began to hunt in differing locations, I felt the desire to see if I could accurately align my drop charts with the ballistic devices using actual BC and velocity inputs. It took a couple of years, but I did eventually get there and now have high confidence using Shooter and/or my g7 rangefinder. I will still always test my zero, and a long range verification shot(s) when changing locations. I still keep a drop chart in my pack for back up though. [/QUOTE]
