[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1772521, member: 97050"] You’re right about SD not being linear. I answered the OPs question about the to calculate it, as kestrel generally uses litz formula, I didn’t go into depth about how it’s widely it’s considered wrong. Not just by the peanut gallery but by litz himself. It’s under the theory that, the issue of SD is there, so something must be done to calculate it, but something is not necessarily better than nothing. Really most cartridges are going to be spun around 2-6 inch at 1k. You’d be more “correct” holding or adding subtracting .1 mil from your over all solution to address it. Or you’d be closer using 2% of your drop to calculate for further out. There is substantial 6 dof data that shows that the solutions built into all calculators is incorrect and the incorrect data only appears more and more evident the further out you go. However the appeal is generally to those that want to input and forget the issue, or simply aren’t aware. [/QUOTE]
