1600-B ballistic function

For those of you using the Leica 1600-B do you use the ballistic function?

The ballistic curve that ‘best matches’ the measured trajectory of my 6.5x55 deviates by approximately 2-3 MOA past 300m.

I haven’t had a chance to verify it in the field but I’m interested in your experiences using the ballistic function. Or do you prefer to use a validated drop chart?

Cheers,
Hayden

Validated drop chart mate, and switch it to read out the TBR after actual reading is displayed. Tho the ballistic function was quite close to my 300wsm I was always more confident using a proven drop chart.

Knights armament app on iPhone is our preference.

I’m thinking this is the answer. It would be good if you can customise the curve and adjust for scope height etc.
