[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2887387, member: 123604"] A Kestrel (or any other weather meter) give you real time environmentals for your location. If you're manually entering values from an external weather meter you're probably good to go there. If you're using values from a nearby weather station or your phone's internal sensors you're not getting accurate values for your particular location. Depending on which version you get you can get more accurate drag models than normal G1/G7 BCs, though you probably won't see a difference inside of 1000yd. The temperature/MV compensation is big if you run into big temperature swings, even with relatively temperature stable powders. It could just be the BC of your bullet. There's a lot of factors that affect BC, and in many cases your real world BC will be lower than what's listed on the box. If you get accurate drops after doing the MV calibration don't sweat it. You could screw with BC until you get accurate drops, but you're just putting more effort into achieving the same thing MV calibration does. [/QUOTE]
