It sounds like he is using a kestrel 5700. If that's the case they have applied ballistics custom drag curves. They aren't wrong end of story. To me, the culprit is the 1.3 high at 100 for a 200...

Good chance you zero not perfect at 200. Best practice is 100m or yard zero as yocan really get it perfect . If your zero is perfect trust the app doing the validation in the kestrel Honestly...

What about air pressure ? Altitude can affect it a lot ( weather, not so much) and it just changes the apparent BC in proportion .

When I was meat hunting (1966/67) the venison rate was 1/4 per pound (13 cents) and it was still good money just by the sheer volume. By the early 1970's I was in business as a gunsmith and doing...

The US experimented with this with their M24 sniper rifle, in the form of being able to either use .308 (7.62x51) or a magnum caliber (.300WM springs to mind) on the same basic action and stock...

Greetings, The two rounds have different magazine lengths so you could possibly run into feeding problems with the .308. It would be better to sell the .270 and buy a .308 or convert the .270 to...
