[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2913714, member: 123604"] Even if you chrono your rifle you need to use long range drops to true your result. Pretty much every ballistic calculator has a built in method for correcting muzzle velocity. You zero, enter your best guess for BC and velocity, shoot at a KD long range target, and enter the actual drop in the calculator. The calculator then changes MV to match the drop you entered. Some people like to do it manually by changing the BC until their drops line up. It's a waste of time to do it that way. Whether you change BC manually or let the calculator correct MV automatically you'll get the same result. [/QUOTE]
