[QUOTE="A A Ron, post: 3062157, member: 117277"] Does anyone know if Strelock or another app will allow for the ballistic app to correct scope dialing errors due to poor scope calibration aside from bc or mv? I have a Leupold vx 5 HD. It has an approximate 3 % dialing error. I have verified this with a tall target test at 100 yards and at range. I have tried to true with MV or with BC, but fixing it at one range only creates errors at other ranges. Yesterday I trued with BC at 950. 200 gr Berger HBT went from .316 to .376. This is too high. Labradar Ave muzzle velocity is 2678 fps. That bc jump is creating big errors. It should be 3.6 inches per dialed mil, but is actually about 3.7 inches per dialed mil at 100 yrds. At distance this matters. 1134 yards low -.3 mil (-3%) 950 yards trued by b.c.(0) 750 yards high .1 mil (+2%) 390 yards high .2 mil (+11%) Truing the MV jumps it up to 2772. The errors are even farther off at those ranges. The scope is repeatable just annoyingly wrong. My hope is to correct it by telling an app to dial 103% of what is real. Another option time for a new scope or will Leupold correct it? [/QUOTE]
