[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3161337, member: 15054"] Bullets have different BC based on velocity. say 2100-2800fps it could have one BC and 2800-3300 could have another. Then below 2100 could have another BC. I do not rely on apps, well for one I do not have a cell phone or lap top. And for knowing exactly where the shot will land takes a little walking and a little shooting. I use a very tall cardboard box I set it out to my max distance I will be shooting. I place an X on the target near the top of the box and zero the scope so I get hits there at 100 yards. Or 2" high if you wish to be 2" high or whatever at 100. Then step back to 200 yards and shoot while aiming at the same spot you aimed at before. Notice the drop. Then 300 yards notice the drop is even more. Now you need to steady rest the rifle at 200 and 300 and dial in the scope yards and set it up so the center of the crosshairs are at the aim point the X now adjust the clicks down to where the bullet landed. count the clicks.. or if you are shooting by holding over and using the mil dots or other lines.. notice what line or dot you need to use. My scopes are second focal plane so the scope power will change where the mil dots are on at the target. The dope on one of my rifles in the below picture. Notice the dot . above the 18 and one above the 12 that is exactly where i must line up my scope power setting against the dot on the scope tube. No more apps. just look at the side of the gun. The one below is my .223 axis with 55 v max. [ATTACH=full]125059[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
