Ballistic calculators disagree with my actual elevation amounts - help please!

Hi all,

I have two rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor (Ruger RPR and Accuracy International AT-X) both with Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 scopes. I shoot at a range with known distances from 100-1200 yards in 100 yard increments.

My rifles are zeroed for 100 yards and I have dope settings for 100, 200, 300 and 600 yards. I've tried a variety of different calculators (Hornady 4DOF, Vortex, several others). They all seem consistent in their come up values which don't match either of my rifles. For instance with the RPR at 600 yards they state around 12.8MOA come up while I have to actually dial 14.5 - a big difference! With the AI, the calculators state 1.35 come up at 200 yards when I actually have to dial -0.25 from my 100 yard zero.

I'm using a Garmin chrono so have accurate MV. I'm using Hornady ELDM 147gr factory ammo so know the bullet weight, am specifying barrel twist, sight height over barrel, temperature etc.

Is there an explanation why the calculators seem so far off vs my two rifles?

I want to shoot at 1000 yards and have no dope for that. How can I use a calculator to determine that? Should I change the bullet G7 BC to accurately match the come up at 600 yards and then use the 1000 yard figure the calculator then suggests?

All gems of experience welcome!

Thanks.
Graham

There's Still Great Deals Available

With all the talk about how tariffs will be affecting pricing, there's still many great deals available for you. Companies like DNT have said that as they run out of current inventory they'll have slight price increases, however, this will be done very slowly on a product by product basis. I spoke with GPO yesterday and they are sitting back and waiting to see what happens when there is a resolution. At the moment it's uncertain exactly what and when they'll be an answer to cost increases and they're trying to not do anything until the uncertainty is resolved.

Accessories SOLD - 6mm Creedmoor Criterion Barrel - Bolt Action Prefit

I have a 26", 6mm Creedmoor, 1:8 twist, Criterion bolt action prefit barrel (Varmint Contour) for sale. This is a savage small shank barrel that requires a barrel nut, not included. I had it on my Zermatt Origin, it would obviously also work on other Savage small shank actions.

I've shot 620 rounds through it, 400 was factory Hornady Match 108 ELD-M, 220 was me reloading trying to replicate that ammo. Definitely still has some barrel life left. It shot very well. I only swapped it out for a straight contour to get my rifle to balance a little better. It weighs 4lb-10oz and is threaded 5/8x24. Threads are in good condition, not sure why they look so bad in the picture.

Asking $225 plus shipping.

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you have any questions!
