[QUOTE="theo98, post: 853719, member: 71181"] Jerry, When I went to order my custom CDS dial for my VX-6, I wanted to ensure it exactly matched my custom rifle & load equipment performance. As per above, Leupold verified exact accuracy "if" I took the time to shoot my elevation adjustments from 200 to 600 yds. We started out with the Brian Litz G7 ballistic data program, but had to reduce the elevation adjustments while shooting at 300-400-500-600 yards. The program was calling for too much height adjustment compared to my real world elevation settings to hit the X-ring target. I then submitted all my data, especially the Exact DOPE (data on personal equipment) ballistic settings for the given ranges. My new custom CDS elevation dial exactly replicates (using same eq., environmental conditions) the MOA settings I had to dial in. Extra work...yes! However, If I had turned in the general ballistic data requested (10 data point items), I too would be shooting high as the fine tuning in JBM calculator was close (good starting point), but not exact!
