    Winds off?

    Could someone help describe for me this “Winds aren’t matching the solver” issue that pops up in the podcasts now and then. It seems to me to be counter-productive to be using a quick wind formula if it’s “off by half”. Is it an intermittent...

    AB app on Phone not matching Kestrel 5700 AB

    Can you define the magnitude between the two outputs? Are they .1 mils different? 2 mils different? .25 MOA off? Apps on phones depending on hardware platform may handle rounding floating point numbers differently as well as how the software development platform (android vs Apple) AB apps on...

    Truing MV vs. BC

    Thanks for clarifying. That makes more sense now

    Truing MV vs. BC

    The solver (presuming it supports AJ) would be accounting for that when the shooter inputs the wind speed and direction along with Latitude Azimuth and SD in order to isolate the secondary effects from being adjusted into the MV/BC. If those inputs are left blank or turned off the solver will...

    @Hundley I noticed that I get a NaN (Not a Number) error when both cant angle and zero setting have a value entered

    Truing MV vs. BC

    Could you clarify what you mean when you say "If you do your base wind will always be in your predictions."?

    Truing MV vs. BC

    Technically speaking... a CDM by itself is not “adjustable” because it’s is not a BC. (example: If the shooter is shooting a Lapua 136 Scenar-L and uses a Lapua 136 Scenar-L CDM supplied by a particular Vendor. The shooter is comparing the performance of His/Her Lapua 136 Scenar-L to another...

    Magneetospeed sporter and handguard length

    MK Machining makes a Sporter adapter for their rig I don’t know if Wiser or Magnetospeed produce one for the sporter

    Magneetospeed sporter and handguard length

    I have an 18” ar with a 16” hangaurd. I use the rail mount adapter from magnetospeed MK Machining and Wiser Precision both make magneto speed mounts that mount to your rail and extend to the end of the barrel without mounting them directly to the barrel...

    Aerodynamic jump, zero values and Calculators ?

    Ballistic engines presuppose that gravity was the only influence present when the rifle was zeroed as it’s baseline zero reference and that the secondary effects of WIND shows up in the environment after the primary calculation of gravity was established. The same way every user does when they...

    More truing frustrations

    Did you happen to check if you have a zero shift with the suppressor on vs off? Your load development was done without a suppressor but you attached the suppressor on the day of the match. You could be hitting low because of the added weight on the end of the barrel.

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I could never get the 4500 BT to connect on Apple hardware. I needed the USB cable and cradle to connect it with a Windows VM The 4500 would connect to AB for Android but not AB for IOS I had to recreate the profiles in the Link app when I switched over to the 5700 which I now manage on the...
