Thread: Difference between ballistic chart and real word results

There’s a hornady podcast that talks about this. I think they address it in the podcast regarding their 4dof app. I never paid too much attention as I don’t have a problem with my actual trajectory vs what strelok tells me. Could be atmospherics. In saying that, have you grouped at that distance? 6 inches could just be the random deviation potential of that load and if you haven’t shot enough rounds to expose the outer edges of the accuracy potential you may be looking at a small sample of the group which randomly may be on the upper edge of the group. Equally, is the bc entered correct? Is the twist rate correct? Scope height accurate? A bunch of small deviation in data entry’s can have a dramatic effect on the down range point of impact. Equally, shooting off a bipod on a hard surface may result in bipod bounce throwing the shots slightly high. Eld-m have a high enough bc that thermal activity shouldn’t effect it at that range, another consideration, are your binos true ballistic range?is the angle set accurately? Shooting at angles changes poi alot
