    What's the objective in asking?
    To me I'd call this "dope" and get on with my day... but i spose if you want to dial in a computer thingy then yeah... you need to work out the whyfor.

    There is nothing worse when taking a shot and doubting you accuracy.
    Nothing better than taking a shot when you know you've done every thing perfectly!
    Man I have seen some shit zeroed rifles and they wonder why they can't hit any thing.

    Yeah but my point was, now he knows... 10 clicks, on his scope, with his load, from his gun, at 625 = whatever.
    Regardless of what any app says... I'll always verify POI through all ranges I want to shoot.

    I want to understand “the why”. That’s the way my brain works & as @andyanimal31 says confidence in data is critical. Last thing you need is the double guessing yourself.

    If the dope came in low, ie need to dial up a few clicks I can understand that & have seen it plenty of times before.
    But to be 10% out the other way is a massive outlier and something I need to get to bottom of.
