    @Tui4Me, I suspect you simply forgot to remove the angle value when you entered the TBR. Remember that when you use a TBR value, the angle needs to be reset to 0

    TBR is just simple trigonometry. You effectively have the hypotenuse, and want to calculate the length of the adjacent side. The formula is:

    adjacent = cos(angle) x hypotenuse

    There is a small difference between entering just the TBR into a ballistic solver, compared to entering the line-of-sight range and the angle. But it should not be more than 1 or 2 clicks, assuming your turrets are 1/4 MOA or 1/10 MRAD.
