[QUOTE="lowdowndirtybugger, post: 2813718, member: 88303"] This is the app applied ballistics version for correction. This is not the PC based analytics version. The app version here uses observed drop (the PC version uses mach to derive the factor. Using speed is way better than using drop) notice the yardage that they give you to derive this data. For most rifles at sea level this is the transonic and sub sonic zones. Using observed drop rather than velocity brings atmospheric error into the correction (think vertical deflection due to wind for one) this uses a factor (which is in the name of the correction title) which is linear instead of actually correcting coefficient of drag. Changes in drag are not usually linear and just like the reason for having multiple bc instead of one single bc is that different shapes have different effects on drag at different mach. On the ab app once again you cannot customize drag to real world findings without going to their lab. Strelok you have complete control over the entire drag curves within CDM because you build them (unless it is Lapua CDM which is supplied by Lapua but is still fully accessible). The picture I posted in my last post to you is the CDM for 208 eldm. Every single part of it is editable. This alone not to mention all the features I listed in my above post are enough for me to say IMHO strelok is a better overall app than AB. Unless you just want a simple calculator and do not care to do the actual homework. Even then for most people who never shoot past 1k Strelok is an entire sweet of tools that the ab app is lacking in. [ATTACH type="full"]460988[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
