[QUOTE="Broz, post: 410587, member: 7503"] Exactly!! I have been using both Exbal (Nightforce) and Loadbase 3.0. LB3.0 is a much more complex system. Takes much longer to enter all data. It offers you the option to enter your laitude and azmuth (so now you need a compass) to apply the coriolis affect. I have been noticing the difference Coriolis makes is in many cases less than I can adjust for. For example, yesterday I was at the Indian Creek range. Target was at 1010 yards, wind was switching from 2:00 to 3:00 and 3~5 mph. I took the time to compare both programs before the shot. I added coriolis with LB. Now exbal gives me dial ups in .25 moa so it said 20.25 moa up. LB3.0 after adding all the data and applying it gave me 20.3 moa up. So I used 20.25 because I can not dial 20.3:rolleyes:. LB said for spin drift with coriolis applied left 1.2 moa. I felt from experience that that is to much. .75 to 1.0 moa for SD should be right in there. Exbal called for 1.25 moa right for wind... so, I took the 1.0 moa SD off and I dialed .25 right and 20.25 up. Let 4 fly. The light 3~5 mph switchy wind played a bigger role than most other factors. Dial up was good. But, I was left about 8 to 10 inches due to me not giving it enough wind. As you an see the application of the LB coriolis would have put me farther left yet. My point is, I feel my time is much better spent learning wind than fiddling around entering all these things that will most likely be over come by bigger forces. Wind is king! On the drive home I was thinking about how, for me, the exbal fits my needs just fine.
