Range Report Wild dope truing AB and 4dof. What is reasonable?

How much was the scope and how much was the shooter/rifle/ammo? Taking the scope off and using a heavy fixture to isolate is the way to accurately test tracking.
Their are other things that can happen during recoil, so I have disagree here. This is like when you dial on a scope to zero it 1 or 2 clicks and nothing happens. Do it again and nothing happens. Do it again and it jumps.... Live fire is much better. Even if you use a rail gun like we do.

How can 2 Ballistic Calculators be so different?

Is the Shooter App that bad?

I will preface that I'm comparing the Shooter App vs AB Quantum Free...for now

600 yards 6.5CM
Shooter app said 5.3MIL up, which is what I used.
It started pouring rain, we were prone out in the elements, and range closed due to Tornado warning, so couldn't experiment/troubleshoot
I came home confused and downloaded AB Quantum.
AB said 3.8MIL
That's a HUGE difference.
Same rifle and bullet data input

Shooter app I had plugged in G7 from factory box @ .311 BC
AB is saying 3.06 BC, so I Used that for AB app

I'm obviously inclined to believe AB since Shooter led me WAY too high for MIL adjustment, but AB seemed just a tad low in my head.
1.5MIL @ 600 yards would be below +/-32" and therefore possibly off the 36" target paper?

Backstory,
Zero'd rifle after scope & chassis install, and chrono'd ammo @ 100 yards, w/ Garmin.
Attempted 1000 yard and was WAY high, not even on paper.
Went back to 100 yard range and reworked zero, minimal change. It was windier that day but shouldn't affect vertical.
2 weeks later shot @ 600-yards, and again, shot very high, but at least on MR1-C paper, about 15-18" high, didn't get a true measurement. Can post a pic later Tight enough group that I don't doubt torque values, but will re-verify.
We were at 40 feet elevation @ Marine Corp Base Quantico.
74*F/70%RH by Accuweather app. Winds negligible. Yes...I'd like a Kestrel for true readings. lol.

Ammo:
Federal Gold Medal Match Berger Hybrid Target 140gr
Chrono'd Velocity 1760fps
SD by Garmin as 7, not too shabby for Factory ammo

Rifle Data:
New build Impact 737R, Stuteville 26" CRB 6.5CM 7.7-twist Comp profile. About 140 rounds total through the barrel so far.
MDT ACC Premier Chassis
Arken 7-35x scope
Sight leveled in MDT rings w/ Arrow products scope leveling tool, and verified w/ SG Pulse electronic level.
Height of scope over bore inputted as 1.5" but definitely need to go re-verify as I know this can cause a multitude of issues
This is pretty far off. I would double check the data in Shooter. It shouldn't be 3 mils off. Possibly inclination? Maybe something else, but that is pretty far off. I would scrub the profile and inputs.

REM 700 6.5CM help

Yeah for that no way I would go magnum. Just get a good 28” barrel in contour you like and a 7.5 or 8 twist. Will do what you need.
Couldn't have said it better... 7.5tw is the ticket.

Normally 3-1100 yards is what I shoot.. the mile is a once a year match. I think rebarrel is probably the way to go. I was surprised at the muzzle velocity being that much slower than my sons Bergara
