[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1295813, member: 96226"] All the ballistics programs will be very close, like dead on, as long as your inputs are correct. It's just math and math that's been very solidly worked out over the last couple hundred years. Before you shoot at all with that new scope get a tall target and verify your click values. If that's wrong then you'll be off in the beginning all the time and you'll have a hard time finding out why. I'm betting your NF scope will be 1.09inches per moa at 100yards instead of the usual 1.05. Barometric Pressure and temperature are the biggies for your atmospheric inputs. Don't get this from the web. Go get yourself a Kestrel or Caldwell Pro weather meter. Muzzle velocity must not be guessed at. Get a chronograph reading of 5-10 rounds or more. There are 2 ways of doing this stuff, Density Altitude or absolute air density. DA is easier to use IMO and faster to use but requires kit to identify your DA value. [/QUOTE]
