[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1615609, member: 29370"] not poking at you I just want to clarify for you....I got a friend that is very much in the same situation as you and after he came over and I went through the details with him his eyes glossed over. You asked what people thought and everyone is telling you in order to get an accurate dial cut for your CDS you need accurate velocities and other info from your rifle with the ammo you intend to use. The CDS system is only as good as the info provided. You owe it to the animal you are hunting to be as accurate as you can or simply hunt inside of 300 yards and leave the 500 yard plus stuff for when you get a magneto speed they are about $179 online. That being said there is another way to velocity true without using a crono and that is inputting the correction needed on whatever distance you shoot into your kestrel or shooting app. For example say you tell your app your MV Is 2910 you took it off the factory box and you ask it to solve for a 800 yard shot, the longer the better for the algorithm in your solver. It tells you say 7 MOA elevation. You dial 7 MOA and send three shots they collectively splash 3 inches low. You go into the truing feature and put in 3 inches low. The solver will reverse engineer the info and give you your actual velocity. Then you send another three with your new velocity in your solver to confirm and that is what you'd give to Leupold. but to be straight up if you can't afford a Crono, aren't using a ballistic solver and even know what I'm talking about, you probably aren't hand loading or even shooting enough on a regular basis to be shooting animals at long range. I'm not judging you I'm simply making an observation and giving to some tough love brother. [/QUOTE]
