Hey guys, alright so I am not a complete noob, but I am for anything out past 300meters. I am finally about to get into longer range shooting. I have access to a range which goes out to 1000m, and I anticipate that being the furthest I ever shoot out to. but simply, don't know how..
My question is what should I be using, or how should I be going about figuring out the trajectory/ballistics for my specific rifle/ammunition?
I HATE to post a thread, as I am normally a lurker by nature on forums, but I don't even know where to start on this, nor what to search. I hear about apps being used, which is cool to be mobile, but is there not a free website which does it for you? What app would you recommend for a new shooter (new being key, I'd rather an app which is 90% accurate and easy to use right now over one that's 99% accurate but super confusing for new shooters). Big bonus points if my wife can understand it too.
I watched the entire 'art of precision shooting' from magpul and thought it was great but it just talks about their specific device, to figure out the holds.
My rifle: Brand new, unfired Tikka T3x Tac A3 24" barrel, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor
Scope: Vortex Viper PTS Gen II 5-25 FFP, ebr-2c MRAD.
accessories: Atlas Bipod, Spuhr mount 3602
The ammunition: 500 rounds of sellier & bellot 6.5 creedmoor The ballistics which I don't understand lol
