Re: Shooter Ballistics app now for iPhone
This app/program is working great. I never really liked FTE but didn't have much choice in the past. I was glad when Shooter became available in iOS.
Sean, have you thought about adding a Finger-controlled graphical look-angle dial in the solution...
Re: Equation used by Leupold's "True Ballistic Range"
I've read the paper and I don't think it presents the "Serria Method" that Leupold is using, since the Leupold range finder reading does not take into account bullet drop. What is the Serria Method without using bullet drop?
Does anybody know the equation or method used by Leupold to get their "True Ballistic Range" as measured by their range finders?
There must be a little more to it than the horizontal distance to the target, as they report the "True Ballistic Range" of a 400 yard target at 40 degrees is 335...
Re: AZ LRPRS Nov Monthly Match Nov 19
I had a good time at the match today, thank you to those that put it together.
Any idea when/where the results will be posted? No rush, I'm just wondering when/where I should check.
Thanks again,
Christopher
Re: 6.5 Creedmoor @ 1000 yards. ( let's compare)
What BC are people using to get these numbers? I've seen two popular BC values for the 140gr A-Max, 0.55 and 0.585.
When I compare FTE to my actual shot data, FTE is under predicting drop by 0.3-0.4 mils at 1k yards.
0.55 BC, 1.85...
Re: Precision Rifle Series
I'm really excited about the Series and appreciate all the work the organizers have done to make it a reality.
Let the shoosting begin!
Re: 6.5 Creedmoor @ 1000 yards. ( let's compare)
I've now shot two different lots of the 140 Amax Horandy factory match ammo across my chrono. One lot has averaged 2860 and another lot averaged 2790.
The actual shot data seems to support these velocities.
Re: Ear protection other than little orange foam plugs
I wore the EP3's at the last AZPRC match, when it was all over I couldn't hear out of my right ear for the next 12 hours.
Anybody have anything like this happen to them with these?

Re: 300gr VLD Hybrid@ 1700M
Can you tell me about that leather you have placed on the cheekpiece? I've seen it on a couple of rifles and really like the idea, is it a kit?
Re: Scope mount canted or not
You don't "need it" but it is sure nice not to be in the middle of the adjustment range. By adding the 20 moa to one end you have only a little bit of travel in the other directon, so it helps (if you don't have zero stop) to not get lost in rotation.

Re: your thought on Ballistic Cal. program,iphone base
I would really like to compare Bulletflight with FTE side by side. I've been running FTE and it works well and I have heard good things about Bulletflight. I like the large FTE library of both bullets and factory loaded ammo.
