[QUOTE="Crews, post: 1488319, member: 83626"] The calculator is only as good as the inputs, but it looks like you have a good handle on sight height, environmental conditions, etc. With that being said, it's just a starting point. If you're getting consistent hits that are different from what the calculator is telling you, then you have to believe the bullets. So you have to true your calculator with real world dope. I am not familiar with the "correction" factor in that particular app. General consensus is to tweak the muzzle velocity input to match real world dope on targets under 600 yards, and tweak the BC to match real world dope past 800 yards. A few other (random) things to consider: - are you shooting at an angle? that could be causing the high poi vs calculated value - is your zero a true zero? if it's not it could make a big difference at distance - are you chambering a new round on a hot chamber and letting it cook for a while before you shoot? you could be getting higher MV than your calculator input.
