I just bought a S&B 5-45x56 with 0.5CM elevation and windage. Also, bought a Kestrel 5700x and set up my rifle profile. For the EUnits and WUnits, I have multiple options, including CM or Mil. What I am hoping to get is the Kestrel to tell me how many clicks to adjust in relationship to my 0.5CM per click turrets.
I put in my bullet data in JBM and I believe I have it calculated correctly, but I can't get the same readout on my Kestrel.
Here is the input data:
The Kestrel has me at 72.7 mil drops, which if I double to account for 0.05 mil per click, I'm still not getting the same 1000 yard drop clicks.(72 X 2 = 144 whereas JBM has it at 150.7). It gets rather close the closer I get so maybe this thing is calculating it correctly, just a little bit of variance?
I appreciate the help.
