Range Report 80 ELD @1000yards

Has anyone else tried these at 1k?

Ive had them out twice now and both times they needed less elevation than expected. Last time out at 2900 ft DA, my calculators (programmed with hornady's velocity based BC) stated I would need around 9.2 mils. My actual drop was 8.7-8.8. Velocity (2820) verified by two different magnetospeeds.

I know these are relatively new, perhaps more efficient than first thought?

Direction of firing taken into account? Any crosswind from the right? I don't know from your post if your program takes those into acount.

I had not taken firing direction into account. Shot through multiple winds so at least one was from the right.

However I had other rifles with me, and none of them behaved like the 80 ELD.
