strelok ballistic app

Not having any idea about this stuff i was looking at getting this app. Am about to chrono my rifle in the next couple of days so i can work out drops etc. I also have a boone & crockett scope which i believe strelok covers. Are i on the right track :huh: or is there some think out there easy for a dumb arse

I have the IOS version.
Good for the price, probably the only feature missing is being able to enter in actual drop/windage tested in the real world.

There is only one app that I recommend if your serious and that is Applied Ballistics.

The free version of strelok is good. Make sure you measure and alter the preset scope height variable from 1.5" to an actual measurement. The difference makes a big difference in my experience.

@septic How do you measure the actual measurement ? , iv got the shooter app on my 308 its great on the 7 Rm its 6 or 7 inches high at 500 yards to compensate I put the FPS at 3700 :ORLY: ... haven't tested that theory yet !

+1 Strelok.
You don't have to buy it ( the free version) so there is no crying involved at all.

pull the bolt out to a distance equal to the end of the scope and then use a rule to measure roughly centre of bolt to centre of scope

2 and 3 round hits at 704m (saw the first 3"in low, and dialled some more) with a 6.5x55 Swede, using strelok free version. Something like 94 clicks.

Then same day, 400m 223 hits off the suggested hold however from it.

Rate it. (Some limitations though)

However, have done the height adjustment, and have to be real careful on adjusting all the settings - same for any program.

Try it and see - will cost you a few rounds to prove it or not.

Stelock is very good. Great range of factory ammo, and scope/reticle combos.

Agree. It doesn’t have the vx5 3-15 reticle but I’m using vx6 3-18. You can change the max magnification in settings. Seems to work although I’m dialling so don’t really use it.

I've used the pro version for a few years. Rate it highly.

It does have the all the Leupold reticles as far as I can see. Only one I couldn t find was the wind plex for the vx5. Bloody handy feature to just wind the mag up or down and see what the values are.

I wonder what I’m doing wrong then. Are you on Android or iOS? I can’t pull up a vx 5 of any one flavour

Actually, I think you need reasons to buy a apple.

Measure from ring centre to gas port but remove the angle factor or it will throw the length out.

Or use a vernier caliper, measure barrel outside diameter below scope objective lens, measure scope objective diameter and then measure the gap between scope and barrel.

gap + half objective + half barrel diameter = scope height. Geeked out pretty hard on that but the number is very accurate.

So take stock off to do this?

You could measure the bolt diameter instead of barrel diameter, since they share the same centerline.

Guess it depends on the rifle setup, but I can do most of mine like this:

Shit I just measure the gap between the top of the reciever and scope and add 1/2 the bolt diameter and 1/2 the scope diameter.
