[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1514494, member: 104437"] Go to the Berger site online and "plug in" your, bullet weight, Caliber, Velocity and "ESTIMATED",.. B. C. unless, using one of their bullets. Be sure to estimate TEMPERATURE and Elevation of, where your Hunting. For example on my .270 WSM with, 140 grain AccuBond's at 3,140 FPS actual Velocity at 3,200 feet and 65* Temp ( I lowered Velocity, to 3,100 FPS,.. do to the estimated Temp in Nov/ Dec. of 25- 30* at 6,500 ft elev. ) and after long range Target work ( Bullet "validation") I lowered the BC to .485 instead of the stated BC of .496, to get my Ballistic "drop" and Windage at 10 MPH. Wind, is THE enemy of, LRH ! Learning to "dope" the Wind, is of, the utmost importance ! Hope this gets you started. Practice shooting, in the Wind,.. a lot ! [/QUOTE]
