[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 1968482, member: 114992"] I’ve been playing around with this over the past few days and really enjoying it. Incredibly user friendly if you follow the directions. I used it to answer the question of how much will I “gain” from my new long range build? A: my tikka t3 30-06 shooting 155gr lapua scenar at 3050 fps, .9 MOA 10 shot groups. B: the new build: tikka based fast twist 25-06 shooting 131 blackjack ACE at 3150. I was surprised to find LESS advantage that I expected with the new build. All things being equal, it gives me another 100 yards or so at long range hunting distance, which really only shows up at 500+ yards with wind wind. Out to 500 there isn’t much advantage over the trusty 30-06 until the wind get up around 10mph. If there’s NO wind, I don’t see a real advantage until 800 yards or so, which is farther than I would shoot an animal. Very interesting stuff excited to see how the data compared to real shooting.
