[QUOTE="drbill, post: 885876, member: 11198"] Under the Edit Ammunition page do you have MV Variation and Powder Temp? I put in the Muzzle Velocity and Powder Temp when I zero my rifle. Powder Temp is the temperature outside (your ammo needs to be set out so the powder becomes the same temp as outside) Now shoot on a completely different temperature day. Have it be a significant temperature difference. I sometimes leave my ammo outside overnight and check in cooler morning temps. Get the second shooting day Muzzle Velocity and Powder Temp. Don't put this in the Muzzle Velocity and Powder Temp, leave them alone. Now use both days of MV and Powder Temp to calculate the difference in fps/degree change. Put this in the MV Variation. Example... So on day 1 3000 fps/100 degrees F So on day 2 2970 fps/70 degrees F You would have a 1 fps/degrees F change - put that in the MV Variation. I believe it is the same in Applied Ballistics and Shooter. If I am wrong someone please correct this. [/QUOTE]
