Thanks for the info it is really good. BTW: I don't plan on shooting anything over 123gr bullets. I was only using that diagram as a reference for my inquiries.
What you are referring to is what I am trying to get done or at least figure out to a more competent degree.
I'm mostly interested in the math part of figuring this out, even though I do appreciate the ease of using apps to do mundane configurations so basically my math is right, provided the ballistics information I am using is correct and/or bullet flight path. It’s hard for me to accept that a program written by someone will be adequate enough to overrule documented results on paper, which is why I was using the ballistics information from AA.
But perhaps you are right and there is no sense in trying to reinvent the wheel when regardless it will still be round at the end of the day . But at the end of the day, in our automated world, I do realize it is important that we still know how to make the wheel, less we become consumed by ignorance and dependent on other inanimate objects to do our bidding. Then will we know that the information being provided is in fact true and accurate to some degree.
(Pardon the senseless rant about technology, I do work with computers and I see first-hand how people are dependent on things they don’t understand, yet have no desire to learn so that they can control the machines instead of doing what the machine directs them to do)
I do like the idea of having the color coded turret for the different bullet types/loads for an easy zero for that type configuration. Is that something that you made or did you buy it?
