[QUOTE="RobertB, post: 876971, member: 54582"] Awesome, this is what I'm looking for right here. My setup is exactly like yours in every way. I use kestrel for DA carry a small PDA for unusal shots but I have arranged DA cards myself on rite in rain paper for the majority of shots. I have recently starting collecting all enviro dada in my log book to see if some things really show a pattern but I've had great luck with nothing but DA. I understand that is actually the same thing but I like to know every single aspect of it. On another form they were saying how DA is good when you need to be fast when not shooting very far, but I have had great luck with nothing but DA. I just came from West Texas/New Mexico to New York and got to setup a shot to mimic a shot I made out west. The yardage was 1330 verified by GPS and Vectronix LRF. Angle was the same wind was actually very similar as well. Only thing that was different was the place I was shooting. My calculations were dead on out west with a 15.1 mil in elevation. It was logged and witnessed by my spotter. Then came to new York and the calculation put me at 18.4 mil. Knew that that was a huge difference but had a mountain as a backdrop and knew I was safe to find out. Shot and hit within a click of it. A second round confirmed this.I knew that I had proven the method to myself. I had checked it many times but had never gotten to go where the weather was so different while I had the same rifle to really know it across the country. I believe this Hodgon powder to do very good with different temps so I think I'm adjusting external ballistics mostly. I know wind is the biggest factor but I'm glad you told me how you do it. I hope there will be other ways of doing it and just wanted to see some of em. Technology really helps out when shooting little bullets a long ways. Thanks for the response. [/QUOTE]
