So I'm running the Applied Ballistic app on a Samsung Note 4. So I have a Labradar for muzzle velocity. I have created my platform then selected bullet from library. Which Fedeal Match HPBT 168gr. So I enter in a 10 group average 2566.5 and a 6ftps dev. Then in went to trajectory and at zero it starts out wit 2500.5 for the velocity???????

G1 or G7 doesn't matter as long u pick one. G7 is better (IMHO). Is the velocity different because the current atmospherics are different than your zero atmospheric?
 
I must have something fat fingered because I have reloaded the same bullet and pretty sure the only thing I changed was G1 to G7 and where the bullet go sub sonic went for like 840 to well past 1500 yds.?????
 
So I solved 1 problem but can't quite figure that out either. 66fps went to the power temp being enabled. After turning it off the trajectory read right. But as I went out of that bullet and back in. It was on again. And why it keeps picking 59 degs?????
 
RPR 1:10 twist
Sight height is 1.5
Hours 59 was as close to my Burris 591
1/10 miles on everything else.

Bullet from library
.308
Sierra 168gr match HPBT
I let it enter in all the data.
Muzzle velocity on a 10 shot group average was 2566.5 then picked g1 got those numbers then I try ed the G7 table way different.

So I would start over. After building your rifle and during ammo selection make your ammo temp the same as zero temp using G7. See what that does.

when I did this then made my current atmosphere same as my zero it lined up exactly.
 
You said you entered 6 FPS Deviation? MV Variation is FPS per Degree. I am assuming you input it into the MV Variation slot and that's why your MV shifted so much. Check out the user guide: www.appliedballisticsllc.com/abmobile on how to use the inputs. Start from scratch, and go slow.

Doc,

is this what mobile uses uses instead of the table that the analytics uses for MV?
 
Nope Doc just Checked and on TD's advice I deleted both the G1 and The G7. All I entered was was the muzzle velocity. I'm going to use the G7 and take it out and see how close it comes. And go from there.

Doc just curious, what do you suggest someone uses who maybe hasn't had the opportunity to collect MV at various temps to determine the change per degree?

Read LL article.

What I did was zero at 100 then shot 800-1000 collect all data. Input in to program AFTER you shoot then confirm everything in between. Worked like a charm for me.

Doc,

AB mobile user here (both Android and iPad).

I was curious to know if the AB development team might consider adding an input screen for a three zone wind data firing solution?
 
Doc,

I have got one for the suggestion list. For those of us who are shooting paper and not hunting, it would be nicer to have Density Altitude and Temp replace the lead section of that single shot screen. Obviously making this an option so the user can choose which values they see on that screen.

-Thanks-
 
OK- still having problems. I entered my load data into my AB Elite Kestrel, and the solution it gave was .4 mils too high from the 100 yard zero to 346 yards. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I measured the height over bore carefully, the MV was confirmed with a LabRadar today right before the incorrect data came out of the Kestrel, and I'm using the AB custom curve for the 230gr Berger Hybrid .30. What's going on?
 
I just changed my Smartphone. Android to Android.
Is there any possibility to get the AB data on my new Smartphone just by copying a folder or sync with a cloud?

AFAIK that function has been in "we're working on it" for about 4 years. Wherever that data is located is protected and common backup apps can't access it nor can file browsers like Astro or OI. Those with rooted phones may have a different story but I'm not willing to do that to my devices.

The only quick and dirty option is to screenshot each gun and bullet profile (the overall app Preferences page is wise as well). This is much faster than writing it down.
