[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 193541, member: 8486"] Just starting to lack some confidence in my long range system and thought I'd tell you all whats going on. Went out today and shot my DE 338 edge at my 1130 M steel gong. Conditions were as follows. RH 57 % ALT 120 ft BP 29.8 Temp 74f I am using 2830 as my velocity on the NF exbal programme. I had a 4 oclock wind that I was shooting for 5 mph. The shot is a tough one accross multiple draws and gulleys for about half the distance, then for the last half rises on a bout a 15 degree incline to the target. Exbal came back with 35 moa up. Knowing that in previous sessions I have been going high with almost everything I dialled 33 up. This went high. I ended up at between 30.5 and 31 moa up to consistantly hit the plate ? I then went to my 1530 yard gong with the following conditions alt 154 ft bp 29.75 rh 70 % temp 71 f exbal gave me 50.5 up I dialled 46 up to hit ? Everyone on my six sessions so far except the very first day, my moa elevation adjustments have varied to exbal by a long way, and frankly I am getting worried that something in the equation is screwed ? My windage is generally pretty good, but I cant seem to get close on elevation even at short ranges like 400 -500 yards, where I am still hitting high. I know that the updraft factor will be at play to a degree, but is 4-5 moa out, factoring a following wind feasible ?? Could one of you plug the conditons into exbal for me and see anything I am missing. I am fairly sure that these shots I'm taking accross this terrain would test the best shooter in the world, but I I sure wouldlike to be a little closer to what the PDA is giving me ?? I am shooting the 300 smk. Any clues would be really appreciated Cheers all DUH [/QUOTE]
