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.

Bench setup and workflow help

Im new to reloading and finally working on getting my bench setup. I want to make the best use of my space as this is where I’ll setup new rifles and do all my cleaning. The left wall with outlets is all wood and sturdy so I can mount whatever to it, along the back of the long bench there’s an 8-9” gap due to the pillar so I can build shelving of some sort to take up that empty space as well.

I have a rock chucker I’m planning on only setting up with my ugly priming tool, a Forster coax for everything else and a Henderson trimmer. I want to keep all that stuff on the short bench but I’m not sure if I should hard mount all, none, or somewhere inbetween using something like inline fab stuff. One thing is I’d like to get the rock chucker on a riser and leave the other 2 flat. I can put the scale on the long bench where press movement won’t affect it since I didn’t mount the 2 benches together. Recommendations would be appreciated

SOLD AccuTac LP50 Bipod

AccuTac LP50 or Low Profile bipod for the big boy cartridges.
This is the newer version of the HD50 with a lower profile.

Extremely well built design that works perfectly.
There are some slight raw aluminum marks from my Pro Fuzion chasis picatinny rail which is bare aluminum.
I've removed most of it with a shop towel and WD40.

Im going to give someone a smoking deal on this one as it's not perfect condition like I usually sell, but still better than 95% I'd say.
I also threw in some new bipod feet on this one.

I'll take $325 shipped & Insured tyd!

First I'll take it gets it for this $550+ bipod!
