[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1836476, member: 97050"] No, that’s not a software feature. Try dope is your best guess after applying good data. You can do it with numbers or as Tangent mentioned, you can get your try dope from software. This is my point, based on your response, I find enough error in your process, and over complications to what you’re doing. So on to the first disclaimer, whenever we talk about these things we assume that technique is a non issue. So to “verify” drop, you should be hitting a target at distance at least 3 times. Take your rangefinder, your chrono, a way to accurately get the information the the Leica website requires, like its atmospherics, IE a kestrel, and a pen and paper. Start by documenting the load you are using for organization, the temp, air, altitude etc. Then chrono, and verify zero. Write down MV. shoot at 600 at a small target, 10 inch or smaller. Write down drop. 800-900 shoot, verify BC, if you don’t know the Mach in which it’s correct. This is the only thing you would have to tweak and you can’t do it in the field, just wright down how much your come up was to hit. You can do this part later. do this to 1000y. take these notes, go home, get on the Leica calculator, plug in the information that you recorded. Your 600 yard drop should be about ok with just MV alone and the recorded at conditions. 800-900 yards, you want to start tweaking the bc one number at a time to alone your drop to 1000 to what you recorded from when you shot. Now it should be good next time. next time you shoot, try to shoot in 100y increments. This is the verifying process. This was typed in a rush, so I can clarify later if needed. [/QUOTE]
