[QUOTE="jfolanddvm, post: 2313993, member: 70626"] I’m a little late to the party, so somebody may have already mentioned this. Unless you located a bullet that kicks in afterburners at 600 yards, there is no way your “real world drops” are accurate. No way a bullet drops 6 moa from 400 yards to 600 yards and then only drops 5 MOA from 600 to 800 yards. I doubt any app will be able to make those numbers compute. May need to measure drops by shooting a large target without dialing and actually seeing where it hits. 400 and 600 yards won’t be too bad, but you’re going to need a 10-12 foot target to measure drop at 800. Your actual drops might be closer to what your app says they should be. If so, your scope is jacked up. If not, at least you’ll have accurate drops to plug into another app to get more precise results. [/QUOTE]
