kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

My opinion, I would clear your kestrel reload it with the updates. I would document what your kestrel numbers were before you cleared it. Make sure your rifle inputs are exactly the same. Now if your impacts are still running .1 mil low you have 2 options, adjust the BC of the bullet is where I would start first. It's a manufacturing estimated BC not written in stone BC. Every rifle runs a difference in BC by approximately 1-3% plus or minus in my findings shooting a lot of different rifles in load developments. Barrels, twist rate, powder ext all contributes to BC Value in a particular rifle. If your dead set on your BC adjust your velocity. The most important thing with trueing your BC is you have to true it at a minimum at 600 yards. 800-1000 is a way better place to really True your data.

good luck, happy hunting/shooting

I think you are simply not comparing apples to apples here. I see the two units have different wind directions. Yours is R-wind, his is L-Wind. The unit factors spin drift, Coriolis, Aero jump, etc. One can't simple apply a wind call value to both L and R because of these calculations. This can also effect the elevation call by about what you are displaying.

Ensure:
Wind direction (In degrees) is same the same. (You showed a 50 degree change in devices)
Station pressure values the same. This is a big one too. Play with station pressure and you will see the most correction changes over any other atmospheric variable. (SP and DA)

you are right, i have moved on and should edit those photo's out. still having problems. but you are correct, once i corrected the wind on those devices, the solution was the same.

Glad to hear, well at least you can focus on your other problems now!
