[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1485458, member: 97050"] You should record atmosphere when zero is set. The only reason we collect atmospherics in long range shooting is to have information that we know will effect the bullets flight. Since temp, elevation and pressure changes the density of air, recording what your zero was as will give a good baseline if you are writing dope cards as even for some ballistic calculators. Easiest to record drop on a pad and paper from 2 to whatever your max will be then just bring the data home and intepolate it into half then quarters. Easier said then done but that’s what works. If you are compelled to use a ballistic solver of sorts then take your data and interpolated data and true it to your real drop. [/QUOTE]
