[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1128416, member: 30902"] When I first started using ballistic programs I learned very quickly just playing around with the scope height proved it to be a very minor factor compared to the rest. Assuming your set up is right and you have a load that performs consistently for velocity and the bullet is stable nothing I have found gives as much variation as not having a true "zero" to base the calculations off of. Even without a chrony and a true known velocity you can easily come up with the right velocity by doing as you say and verifying your drops. Get a true zero and two measured drops more than 100yds apart and your calculations out to 1000yds are going to be very accurate. [/QUOTE]
