[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 525672, member: 33751"] I'm shooting a remi-700 in 308 with a Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm. bullet is a 178 A-max. Im getting the chrony in the mail tomarrow so I will have a true FPS input for my ballistics calculator software on my laptop. My question to you is two-fold. #1 can I estimate temp. and barametric pressure? and still make hits at 800yds? with 308? I ask you this because I would have to get a phone upgrade and kestrel wind/barametric meter to do the calculations in my hunting area OR do them before I go using google earth to get my aproximate elevation, and aproximate weather conditions. So how much do exact elevation and barometric pressure effect bullet flight in a hunting situation? #2 If I was to get the Droid with the shooter app. I can then make more detailed inputs and calculate on the spot but I have to get the phone upgrade, buy the kestrel meter and learn to use all of the above before the hunt. I am too far invested to get cheap now but I dont want to buy a bunch of gear I don't really NEED. I would appreciate your knowledge and opinion. Thanks-Dave [/QUOTE]
