[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 2652251, member: 33119"] I agree with your agreeal I still use ballistic apps as well. Any app one uses should be able to have certain parameters edited due to things like your scope not tracking properly. But this data is gathered through field testing at different ranges. Having a portable whether station is nice or being able to gather atmospheric conditions via the app is okay as well. If what the Op is doing here, what we called battle field zero in the Corps (hit an area out to a certain range) is the desired result I wouldn’t rely on it for shooting animals of any kind. That’s being lazy in my book. Being able to hit a “spot” on an animal or target at different ranges takes time at the reloading bench (usually) and field testing and verifying. My son shoots a box stock Savage Predator Max 1 in 260 and he’s as comfortable shooting 500yds as he is 100. Practice, practice, and more practice is the key and you’ll never learn it shooting 33yds then 100yds then using a ballistic app to show you what’s happening? at 300. Trust the bullet not the app, fore the bullet never lies. [/QUOTE]
