[QUOTE="speedengineer, post: 1968980, member: 112986"] I'm glad you have been able to get MERC working without trouble! Willfrye027 - The study you performed is a perfect use case for MERC. It's always interesting to see how the various input variables influence the simulated performance. A 100yd benefit isn't too shabby. I recently did a study of how much extra yardage I could get with a best-in-class BC bullet vs a copper mono. It only provided about 40 yards more range with a 10mph crosswind @ 30% uncertainty. AND, with no wind, it actually hurt performance since it has more drop and suffers due to range uncertainty! Thanks for the feedback. And everyone else too - please let us know how your experience with MERC goes. Look for feedback to help make the tool better and easier to use. [LIST] [*]Did you have any issues opening it, or with the formatting looking weird? [*]Were the instructions clear - were you able to figure out how to use MERC? [*]Did you encounter any other issues? [*]And features you wish it had? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
