Thread: Large MV variation from trueing

@stagstalker

It could be a number of things. Apologies for the following repeats but I will just cover off the troubleshooting checklist I was taught:

1. Incorrect range (measured or inputed)
2. Incorrect density altitude,
3. Incorrect spotting / poor grouping / not enough rounds to accurately determine mean point of impact
4. Inclination angle not a 0 degrees in "target" setting
5. Incorrect zero (including zero range wrong in Kestrel) (also make sure your units of measurement are correct for everything - I bounce between imperial and metric for different things)
6. Wind not set to zero in Kestrel
7. AJ not factored in
8. Direction of flight not inputed (this is more pertinent for CAL DSF)
9. Poor initial BC (not really a big concern as the CAL MV and CAL DSF process fixes this)
10. Incorrect bore height

Could be a couple other curly factors like barrel degrading BC more than normal or faulty scope but the issue is most likely one of the ten factors above. I recommend going through your "TGT", "Wind", "Gun" and "Enviro" menus and ensure that none of the ten points above are affecting your CAL MV. If no faults are found, I would redo your CAL MV, use the 0.293 G7 and do it out at Mach 1.2 which I am guessing will around 900m for you - pending DA. Flick me a call if you are still getting an abnormal result. I'll PM you my phone number.

Cheers,
