    @R93 there is a correction factor setting when you set up or edit the firearm. Change the elevation correction factor to 0.862 (.25/.29)

    Just to further the conversation Balistic AE has litz library for BCs, has DOF inbuilt, with the usual atmo, , LOS spindrift and stabiliy etc , validation from 5 drop points , turret values to 3 decimal points, reloading,target data and group measuring, milldot ranging and a whole lot of stuff Ill never use like 3d trajectory imaging and other charts. What else does Aplied balistics have that might be useful?

    Nuthin’. Is that bad?
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    I’m not using it yet as I have a kestrel and dope in my binos. But I had a play for comparisons of the hornady app and it looks pretty good. A big improvement over its original version in its configuration and also a quick simple wind direction dial.
    And it’s free. Kestrel have just brought out their model with this installed too.

    The main thing about litz's library is that it has custom drag curves (cdc) it also allows for aerodynamic jump, as well as all the other fruit and the validation is simple as well.
    Litz has his own doppelar setup as well so not relying on anybody else's data
    It's like trying to compare a vortex to a nightforce.
    You cant
