[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1931925, member: 97050"] There is no real math for your drop data. I mean there is but none it requires knowing the come up of a known distance. From 300y you can take you drop and multiply by a factor of 1.75 then take that drop data verify, then multiply by 1.45 to get your 500 and so on. However most people aren’t going to memorize that so there’s where a dope books use to come into play. If not you are just doing a point blank shot essentially, or one memorized drop just out to where PBR ends. Doing this I’ve pushed out without verifying to a little over 1000 and it held within .1 mils for the most part, but past that required truing obviously. The wind numbers are easy to get and easy to apply. The issue is always the individuals ability to read it. Not using a kestrel for a baseline requires that you how to determine what wind is at your location before being able to guess what it is at distance and that is really a practice in itself, for different areas with different foliage.
