[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1172110, member: 50867"] Nothing is "too basic" my friend. Only stupid people don't ask questions. You've described what I hate about those newfangled ballistics devices. They seem to be useful to the experienced shooter but get somebody new to the sport and all they do is confuse things. I'd suggest you put that thing away for a while and get back to basics. First, bed that 20MOA picatinny rail. [B][U][U][U][U][URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6RopWI0-GE[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U][/B] Next zero your scope to 200 yards. Get some reliable MV and BC data. If you're using bullet manufacturer's BC data reduce it by 7 - 10 percent. Next, use an old fashioned ballistic calculator: [B][U][U][U][U][URL="http://www.hornady.com/ballistics-resource/ballistics-calculator"]Ballistics Calculator - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U] [U][U][U][U][URL]https://www.federalpremium.com/ballistics_calculator/[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U] [U][U][U][U][URL="http://www.bergerbullets.com/ballistics/"]Ballistics | Berger BulletsBerger Bullets[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U][/B] Take your rifle and dope sheet to the range, shoot it at 200, 300, and any other x00 range you have available. Edit your dope sheet to reflect what's on target and go shooting. Once you've got some real life 'In the field" experience with your rifle and scope then come back to that gadget. It's make more sense. In a real time hunting situation by the time you plug all the factors into that gadget the game will have wandered into the next county. [/QUOTE]
