[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2858196, member: 115190"] I like using AB(Applied Ballistics) on my phone. I use it a lot seeing ballistics of different rounds and bullet combos, etc. When hunting out west I have a 3500 Kestrel and a range finder around my neck and a dope sheet on my rifle. Range, check wind, check dope sheet, dial up elevation and hold for wind using reticle. A dope sheet/chart in 50 yard increments with 5 10 15 20 25 wind holds is what I do. You should verify your dopes right of course at altitude. Remember, junk in junk out. Meaning you must put correct inputs in to get correct dope from any ballistic calculator. AB works. I live at 1000 ft altitude and it corrects for hunting at 7500 ft perfectly. And before you go and buy a range finder that Bluetooths to your scope and does it all for you, know that some states have made those set up illegal. So know the regs where you intend to hunt.
