[QUOTE="Stugotz, post: 29538, member: 1783"] O.K., I'm a little new to this, so any help would be appreciated. This is my first post, but I've been lurking around for a while. I've tried a few of the "freeware" ballistic programs and an Excel spreadsheat that I found on another site in addition to the trial version of RSI's Ballistics program, but none of these seem to calculate the correct curve for my particular rifle and load. I'm shooting a 7mm RUM with 26" Douglas barrel. 139 grain Hornady SST's on 93.5 grains of Reloader 25. at 3465 FPS 15 feet from muzzle. One of the programs I'm using corrects this velocity to 3476 at the muzzle, so I've been using that number as muzzle velocity. I'm at about 975 feet above sea level and it's been about 50 degrees here. From shooting at various distances, I've determined that I'm +2.5in.@100Yds, +1.75in.@250, -10in.@400, and -14in.@450.
