[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1895503, member: 1951"] Well, I really like Ballistic AE for a basic supersonic ballistic app. Applied a Ballistics is the best solver, but you will get to that when you get into a Kestrel. [URL='https://cameralandny.com/shop/kestrel-sportsman-ballistics-weather-meter/f7084690-d97f-0137-19e8-00163e90e196?variation=2039782']THIS[/URL] is a good deal on a Kestrel/Ballistic solver, but that may need to come later. Ballistic-X is a nice target measuring app. It does this: [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/9X92VWPD/5-EE70-EAF-754-F-4-EA0-A4-BC-2-C66956-AF5-E7.jpg[/IMG] You also need a Postimage.org account so you can share! More important, you need to get from point A to point B. I find it funny helping People out with this stuff. There aren’t really many shortcuts. You have to shoot to find out what is keeping you from shooting better. Optics can be a hard buy as they tend to drop value fairly quick, but sometimes you get a small boost in value when the6 raise price on the same sku. Still, you need to put money into optics, at least to the level where you see value. Again, if your turrets aren’t holding up, you cannot see the further target or the reticle feels designed by a non-shooter, well, it is time to upgrade. Start trying to get to 600yds easily. I would guess that will take a better scope.(not sure what you have now) You may need to bed it or restock it. Just looking at pics online, it looks like that might be an injection molded stock. If so, look for a laminate take off on here or eBay....you can get these sometimes for $50. Laminate seems not state of the art, but it is the best way to get a solid/stiff stock on a rifle that you can work with. How do you know you need a new stock? When you get fliers and cannot get screws to stay torqued. Some steel to shoot at. Maybe a chronograph. Join a range....or find a good place to shoot regularly. Now is a good time to start reloading.
