Hi,
I downloaded Gunsim onto my Blackberry as a way to get started with long distance shooting. I was messing around with different calibers and comparing Gunsim to the ballistics calcluator at gseven.com. I'm a little puzzled by why Gunsim thinks for instance the 22-250 is such a beast at long range. For instance, it thinks that at 700 yds it drops 75", 33" by 3 o'clock wind @ 10 MPH, 2021 FPS, and 544 Ft-lb. Gseven.com has 140" drop, 90" by wind, 1107 FPS and 163 ft-lb. This seems a lot more likely given the .227 BC and the fact that it is a 60 gr bullet. What gives?
