    Range Report Ballistic Card with Density Altitude

    eicas - Yes, I agree that temperature columns are not required, because the muzzle velocity is so consistent with H4350. roggom - FDAC is great (I have one), but the advantage of my card is that it will be ACTUAL data instead of computed data when I get a chance to fill it in as the...

    Advanced Marksmanship Crosswind Effects on DOPE Elevation at Long Ranges

    damon - Sounds good, do you have a formula, or a specific DOPE entry at 800, 1000, or 1200 yards that would be good as a starting point? Thanks, Buzz
