    LRF Beam Divergence numbers - Help me understand

    A Mil is a Mil. Regardless of distance. Mil is an angular measurement like moa. To answer your question: The absolute size of the beam grows with distance. A mil is simply 1/1000 of your distance. So at 100yards your 2 mil beam is 1/5 yards wide and at 1000 yards distance it is 2 yards wide.

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    Yesterday I was at the 1K Range with a proven Rifle/Ammo Combo, and was using the Kestrel Elite als Solver instead of Strelok Pro. But I was way off target at 1K, with the Solution of the Ketsrel. So I started calibrating (more accurate: Bending) the...

    Dude.... Seriously.... I'm out of that discussion with you....

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    Thanks again for clearification. Even though it is not as bad as thought, but it still leaves me somehow restricted control over my data. There is no possibility to safe an existing profile outside the mobile phone. So if I change phones (average user every 1-2 years), I have to read it from the...

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    Maybe it´s because I´m not writing in my native language, and cannot express myself as good as in german, but most of you miss my point... Yes, without doubt. But I have a large Lot of Ammo, loaded with the same components. They will last minimum for the next 2 years and I don´t want AB to...

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    @DocUSMCRetired Thanks for the clearification. We usually buy larger quantities from one lot, when bullets are available, since they are somewhat hard to get here in germany. From those ELD-Match 178 for example, I bought 4000. I have 2500 ELD-X on backorder for almost a year, now. So...

    I didn´t say that. Of course it does. "Even BC reduction because of understabilisation is a result of Velocity, Spin Rate and of Course Bullet Form/Shape/Weight.... "

    We´re drifting a little off topic here.... Pitch, yaw and twist stabilisation is all effect of those 2 values (+ Bullet parameter of course). Even BC reduction because of understabilisation is a result of Velocity, Spin Rate and of Course Bullet Form/Shape/Weight.... Yes, it is caused by...

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    I´m sorry to tell you, that external ballistics has nothing to do with your barrel (what happens inside the barrel is internal ballistics)..... Bullet is leaving barrel with a certain veloctity and a certain rotational speed. That´s the point where external ballistic starts and the ballistic...

    Applied Ballistics Data for Hornady ELD-Match 178 wrong

    No, it´s not a magic box. They work on the garbage in - garbage out principle. When I do my part -as I usually do- and carefully gather and measure all the Rifle, scope, zero and weather input data as well as Labradar measured speed, yes even temperature dependence of bullet speed, and use a...

    Applied Ballistics depressed BCs due to SG <1.5

    As expected after Doc´s Reply: Exact Same Elevation for a SG1.2 vs SG1.5 Scenario from the Kestrel 5700 Elite.

    Applied Ballistics depressed BCs due to SG <1.5

    I think you got aware of that to happen from Bryan Litzes Book "Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting". In the same chapter (2: Stability and Drag - Supersonic) he describes the effects of Stability vs Drag he writes QUOTE: "Serious Ballistic Solvers (such as Applied Ballistics Mobile)...

    Labradar issues

    Hi, I´ve had the same issue. It was not because of Shot, but because of SD-Card. It would not write on SD-Card. Try a different SD-Card or try without. Manuel

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    Sorry, but what is CB ? Strelok is very Common, here in the european Long Range Community, costs only a few bucks, and is up to date. @Mildot: Of course you can switch to different Output Units in the AB Solver. I think the AB App even allows for SSF, but the all in one Solution "Kestrel...

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    Hi, math has already been done and the SSF is ready to be applied. It could be multiplied with the Kestrel Elite´s firing solution manually, but when I need an additional cell phone I might as well use a different ballistic calculator. Strelok Pro had a simple custom Click Value from the...

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    Which I did. Collimator stuff was just as validation, that I´m not on the wrong track. I see the Kestrel very similar - as a game changer. Unfortunately, when you start to look into the details, and compare it to the theoretical stuff from the Litz Books, they are a few steps behind that. But...

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    I will take a look at the turrets again (pretty sure they´re labeled 1/4 MOA) when I´m home to confirm. I thought about this SMOA Thing, too. Was even hoping for it, when I did my tests, but it did not confirm: 12 SMOA (or IPHY) equal 3,3MIL euqal 11,5MOA and euqal 10 3/4 UNITS on my Turret...

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    I confirmed the Tracking Error it with a Leupold Zero Point, yes. The 2 affected Scopes are 2 identical Bushnell Elite 6500 2,5-16x50 with Mildot. My Hunting Buddy has 2 of the same scopes. They have the same issue. I had a similar scope with "1cm Klicks" and Ret 4a, that was spot on. So seems...

    Issues with Applied Ballistics Solver in Kestrel Elite

    Issue with Bullet Profile was solved, when Doc posted here why he suggested to use different curve. It was an Error in the Name and actually the right curve. Meanwhile they changed the Name in the Database. Issue with Custom Drag Curve for ELD-X ended for me at that point. Before the...
