[QUOTE="adbeck18, post: 2361488, member: 39413"] I use the Shooter and Applied Ballistics apps. I don't have much experience with Strelok. What are you using for a chronograph? I have had trouble in the past with light based chronographs being slightly off in their readings based on cloud cover and light conditions. I know the AB program has a velocity calibration feature which allows you to input your true drop you actually shot over several ranges and it will calibrate the muzzle velocity. One thing I have found in the past with AB that has thrown my drops off is with the "pressure is absolute" check box. If you enter the pressure off a weather site, that has been corrected for sea level. That isn't the actual pressure where you would shoot. The app then corrects for the pressure based off the elevation entered. If you enter data from a Kestrel than you should check that box and it will know that is the actual conditions there, otherwise it tries correcting it from sea level. The more accurate your inputs the more accurate the results should be. Since you mentioned both are off, I would look at the muzzle velocity and making sure the chronograph readings are accurate.
