Thread: Handy BC reference chart

If you're trying to snipe anything past 300 wouldn't you be looking for the most accurate adjustment possible? So your range finder plus ballistic app with current weather and altitiude? Especially if your shooting a small rabbit at 500m +? Not a lot of room for error.

I'm a fan of bdc reticle like on my ar but at longer range (500+) prefer dialup. Having said that I have never used the cds turrets.

Yeah, that's a good point. A yardage CDS I am interested in more for shots on larger animals where time might be a major factor.

Small targets like rabbits/hares you have all the time in the world from decent range, and you're right - I would be using ballistics programs, etc.

No need for app in the field.
Get the yardage CDS you want.
Make a swedish method scheme referenced to your CDS and you'll shoot faster.

I'm going to have to pull finger and log shots at different ranges then maybe just 'paint' on my turrets. See how that works out.
App is pretty close so should be able to just tweek it and go off the readouts on that?

This is all shown in the coming film but:
Shoot 2-3 distances.
Match ballistic software trajectory to that within 2-3 clicks.
You're done. Trajectory will be perfect.
Change one variable to explore the effect of changing weather.
Use V0 change 0.5 msec per 1°C unless you have other data.

Cheers Norway, will do that tomorrow morning.

What is a swedish method scheme?

I think Gimp is better situated to assist here, I'm on a mobile.

It is basically a practical ballistic chart tuned to your environment and BDC.
