Has anyone done it on the Kestrel?
Ranges used?
How well does it work

IMO, it’s the absolute best way to dope a .22.
I personally pick the furthest distance I expect to regularly shoot. Say, 350yds. I then get data for 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350.
Then use the DSF as directed here. I did this for my vudoo with current case of sk standard plus. I don’t think I’ve missed a target vertically for a year or so in monthly matches that go out to 350 or so.

A few days ago, Eduardo Fontucuberta (the creator of the KO2M) posted this on Facebook regarding the Prince of 22LR match held in France a week ago, which I followed daily.
Special mention to Patagonia ballistics ColdBore solver as once I got my custom data right in my tests, by using its drag features I was dead on every shot. My fellow shooters were not so lucky with other solvers. It was the storm that killed me, not my POI predictions. I was writing a special post about 22LR ballistics but it will have to wait till i have some time, as it will be a long one.

What does custom data mean? I use CB now to predict DOPE for the rimfire and it works well. I have laminated range cards to take with me. It isn't on my Kestrel though. Cards are static and that is why I asked about the Kestrel. CB on my NOMAD is a PITA. I have it but I don't really use it. I use my Kestrel

I guess he meant the DC factor but you can ask him to be sure. I run CB on the Phone not on the Nomad anymore, but never had any trouble with it though. Anyway as soon as Genesis rolls out I'll move to Android.
