Thread: "Trueing" BC/Velocity

I verify the BC with the following process
1. Measure the muzzle velocity
2. Use muzzle velocity with bullet BC to estimate the drop and terminal velocity at a known distance.
3. Use silvermountain/shotmarker to measure the terminal velcity and the actual drop.


Although the electronic targets are considered not accutate enough, I'm usually getting averaged < 10fps difference between the predicted terminal velocity from Applied Ballistic, versus the measurement from the electronic targets at 600-900yds.

Greetings @eamars and all,
That is exactly what I have done and found measured velocity at the target was very close to estimated, less than 10 fps. I did not measure the drop as I had done a rough zero using a tall target for 600 yards. I am a beginner at F-class and this was my first attempt at 600 yards so I was quite pleased.
