I double checked and zero is set to 100yds. Thank youYou need set the zero distance to 100. It sounds like it's set for 50 yards![]()
Yes. A zeroed rifle still has a drop. Gravity always exists."Absolute" drop is exactly that, the drop of the bullet at that distance given the other parameters you entered, it has nothing to do with where you are zeroed or holds.

In Strelok when in the chart section click the gear icon at the bottom and unselect that option if you don't want to see it.
Select "Show Elevation, MOA" or inches or clicks depending what you want to see.
That is my set up for a Camp Perry rifle with a totally different scope than the Leupold that I selected. I had to fudge the adjustments and options to make S.P. work for that rifle and scope combo.I believe you have several things incorrect in your scope set-up. The scope you selected is: Leupold FX-II 2.5 x 28mm Scout Rifle Scope: 1/4 MOA click windage and elevation dials.
1) You changed the Vert./Hor. click from 0.25" clicks to 0.5" (ERROR).
2) You also selected SCOPE CLICK UNITS of inches a 100yards (SMOA). The Scout uses MOA, not SMOA (ERROR). MOA is 1.0472" at 100yards, SMOA (SHOOTER'S Minutes Of Angle) is 1.0". Not a major difference but still will cause you problems.
3) Look at the ballistic table (TABLE icon, far right), then turn off SHOW ABSOLUTE DROP, INCHES. Absolute Drop – regardless of zero distance, drop measured from bore-line at distances as if the rifle was fired perfectly level at 0°. Useful, but typically only used in INCLINED FIRE calculations.
4) What you should select is SHOW ELEVATION, MOA and SHOW ELEVATION, MOA.
5) There are some other options you can choose such as SHOW ELEV./WINDAGE, INCHES and in the HOME menu option (GEAR icon) SHOW CLICKS in 1 3/4 layout but I would stick with correcting #1 through #4 first.
I didn't go any further in research since the screen shots were limited and these issues are enough to cause you problems.

I am not the O.P. I was just offering advice for him to check the zero settings. I believe 6.5sh has given him the information that he needs to correct his issue.

Dude. Rifle bullets dont work like that. You point at a target, yank the trigger and the bullet hits the target.Yes. A zeroed rifle still has a drop. Gravity always exists.
It's all in the wrist:Dude. Rifle bullets dont work like that. You point at a target, yank the trigger and the bullet hits the target.
The whole "bullet drop" myth and "time of flight" thing is a joke we play on newbies. Havnt you played call-o-doody ?
I await my punishment.
You don't need absolute drop. Turn it off in table settingsHello,
Using Strelok Pro, I zeroed my rifle in @100yds. Ballistics charts says absolute bullet drop is 2.6 inches @ 100yds. Shouldn't it be 0 inches at that distance? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for a terrific app. with everything I need. Can't thank you enough for all that you do. It is all greatly appreciated.You don't need absolute drop. Turn it off in table settings

Same.You are welcome!
Thank you. Have you tested Speed Drop Factor feature, are you satisfied?Same.
I have a kestrel 5700 elite and 99% of the time I use StrelokPro.
It’s by far the best ballistic app for iOS/Android.
Not yet. Haven't seen where to activate it. Running 6.82 on IOS.Thank you. Have you tested Speed Drop Factor feature, are you satisfied?
Yes, thank you for a great product.Thank you. Have you tested Speed Drop Factor feature, are you satisfied?
Where is the SDF chart ?Yes, thank you for a great product.
I've been using Strelock pro for 18 months maybe 2 years & prefer it over the others I've used.
It's so damn easy & fast when I want to adjust wind & such.
Yes, I have been tinkering with the "SDF" charts & I like it a lot.
It's 3/4 the way down the projectile data input screen.Where is the SDF chart ?
Screenshots and discussion on it towards the bottom of this thread:Where is the SDF chart ?
If you're not familiar with how DSF works with the scope, you have to (-)/ under your 100yrd/meter zero then use your reticle & match the distance with the reticle.It's 3/4 the way down the projectile data input screen.
So from the main "shoot data" screen where you see the the "calculate button, just tap on the rifle type box directly above the "calculate button then, tap on the projectile data box which comes up in the new page. Scroll down to where you see the "G1, G7 etc buttons & it's right above those. Tap that "speed drop factor button" & you'll see the chart/table for your projectile & velocity.
Yeah it’s not there on IOS ... or maybe I’m utterly retardedIt's 3/4 the way down the projectile data input screen.

Well it’s obvious not on mine. That’s why I asked if is needs to be enabled somewhere or are there bullets profiles it’s not there.
You probably have an MOA scope on that rifle profile.Well it’s obvious not on mine. That’s why I asked if is needs to be enabled somewhere or are there bullets profiles it’s not there.
Edit. Actually I found it on other bullet profiles but not for my 7SAW 162. Probably wasn’t meeting some kind of conditions.
Interestingly it was a cm per click which is mrad but I changed it to mrad and now works good thanksYou probably have an MOA scope on that rifle profile.
In my experience, I usually find it's the latter of the two lol.Yeah it’s not there on IOS ... or maybe I’m utterly retarded
"Absolute Drop" is the measurement in inches of the drop of the bullet from the time it leaves the muzzle. Period. It has nothing to do with where you zeroed the rifle, scope settings or any other mechanical aspect of your shooting other than you squeezed the trigger on a loaded rifle. Gravity instantly takes over the moment the bullet leaves the barrel.Hello,

Make long tap on MRAD digitsI started out with the free version and quickly upgraded to Pro. Been using for several years now with no real problems, until recently. I cannot see the MRAD numbers any longer. The information is there it is just muted. I switched on the contrast color scheme but no help. All information went to white except MRAD which is almost blacked out. I figure it is something I did on my phone nut cannot for the life on me figure out what that is.
Phone is a Motorola Android if that makes any difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well look at that! Using that long press I can sorta hide MOA, inches, and clicks on the home screen.Make long tap on MRAD digits
