    Sako TRG22A1 6.5CM

    What rings (and height) go along so well with the S&B 5-20?

    Why DA isnt Better than Pressure, temp and humidity in BC's

    Minuscule or not, it should be factored in for a complete DA solution. Most specially at ELR. Anyway, for medium range work it doesn't matter like you said.

    Why DA isnt Better than Pressure, temp and humidity in BC's

    Makes sense only as a practical handy way, because you enter just one value, meaning less chance of input errors, other than that it all comes to a personal preference.

    Why DA isnt Better than Pressure, temp and humidity in BC's

    I'd say that if you run any Point-Mass based software the above is true, but it's not a general truth. A couple of things are in order to understand why the above is a stretch. a) Point Mass depends on the Mach number which in turn depends on Temp b) If you resort to a simplified equation to...

    Strelok Pro

    Just distribute it from any of the many stores available. Sure you are already thinking about this.

    Strelok Pro

    Guys, there are many other stores where Strelok can be distributed from, so my guess is it should be available anytime soon. Not that I care of course because I don' run it, but others might.

    Longest confirmed sniper shot?

    Hmmm...no. The answer is simple. They were shooting the same rifle, the same bullet and the same scope with the exact same ballistics as you and the rest of the world, no secrets there no matter how many would love to think that. No military "magic" can surpass the laws of Physics. Yes, they may...

    Strelok Pro

    There is a RAND report not that old (a few years back) stating that ballistics software should be banned or tightly controlled.

    Strelok Pro

    And what is the nature of the sanction? Google and Apple would make it unavailable for some countries? I saw it coming, sooner or later it was going to happen

    Longest confirmed sniper shot?

    A one-off it is. No other way around about current technology boundaries. It's as simple as that. Nice kill, but I can barely see any value in terms of ballistics for ELR shooting, meaning a repeatable firing solution. Meaningful as a military op? Maybe yes, maybe not. Looks like a lot of PR...

    Genesis Ballistics Solutions--Android Now Available!!

    FFS and CB rely on different engines. I've tested both side-to-side and it shows, most especially at longer ranges and subsonic. IMHO CB is a better match all the time, in the real world. Not bashing FFS just pointing out what I've found so far. This swindler THEIS really screwed up all the...

    Kestrel 5700 and LabRadar

    Interesting but not a real need whatsoever. Keep it simple is the best strategy.

    I'm really interested in the 89. Can you link me to where I can get more info on how you change variables to adjust the results?

    Measuring BC - Oehler '89

    Do you know how the system accounts for Wind? I cannot imagine how because the BC is derived from raw velocity measurements.
