I purchased the Shooter app last year and so far it has been a lot of fun and a frustration at the same time. I was hoping someone with more experience could chime in and help me out. I am shooting the following
223AI 1:9 twist
75gr Amax
Range altitude 3850'
Temp at sight in 55F
Bar at sight in 29.50
Velocity 3020 SD 10
I am running the bullets with Varget powder so I have been ignoring the powder temp correction, with it I would be several MOA off at different temps.
I also found that running the G7 BC that I was much closer to what I observed in the field. I observed that the look angle makes quite a bit of difference in my bullet impact per the calculations. Yesterday I went to the range and the conditions were as followed
Temp 35F
Wind Still
Altitude 3850
Bar 27.90
According to my G1 BC of .435 at 600 yards I was at 12.2 MOA up and with another calc using the G7 BC I was 10.5 MOA up. I found the 10.5 MOA solution to be on and checked at 650 yards and got a correction of 12.2 which was also on.
I guess my questions are as follows.
Do you guys ignore the power temp when using a temp insensitive powder like Varget?
What other parameters are you messing with in different temperature conditions to get a correct adjustment.
I am a little frustrated in the fact that I have to mess with everything each trip out to get a drop at 600 yards. To be fair I have only tried the G7 BC once now which seems to be much more accurate for me.
