[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2590430, member: 123832"] With a pen or keyboard, write/type in the correct data on your drop chart. However, I think you are trying to ask something else. Let's clarify some terms: 1) A Drop Chart is a document/electronic image with drops or ups for various distances given a zero range for a particular bullet launced at a particular velocity. The drops/ups are generated by a trajectory function in a Ballistic Calculator. 2) A Balistic Calculator is a program that estimates drops/ups for various distances given a zero range for a particular bullet launced at a particular velocity with various imputs for other variables; e.g., altitude and weather. I think you are saying the values created by your chosen Ballistic Calculator don't match what you are actual seeing when you went to validate those calculations in the field. Additionally, for anybody to help you; we need more accurate descriptions of your numbers - in your first example what are you trying to say: The calculator stated you would be 2.75 MOA high @ 300 but your actual result was 1.75" high? or you are zeroed at X distance and you dialed to 2.75 MOA to be dead-on at 300 but instead the bullets impacted 1.75" high? or are you trying to say something else?
