BALLISTICS AE VS APPLIED BALLISTICS (applied seems to be high)

[Timber338]

I just ran your numbers in Ballistic AE and Shooter on my iPhone 6s.

Both apps listed the G7 of the 105 VLD at .272

Ballistic AE gave 16.28 MOA (139.84)
Shooter gave 16.3 (140.0 inches drop)

As long as the BC matches, the shooting solutions between Ballistic AE and shooter for all of my rifles/loads are always within about 1/4 inch of drop out to as far as I want to calculate.

Have you tried shooter or other applied ballistics programs?

I also have the software that came with my Applied Ballistics book and its seems to match up with my Ballistic AE program.

I shoot a vortex scope
My turret values are 1.05. Try that now

Also is that the shooter ap, or laptop software

Applied Ballistics is on my computer.

Ok. Maybe it's just a shooter ap issue

Think we just found your error. Does your scope over-travel or under travel?

Shooter and ballistic AE require the correction factor to be calculated differently.

Let's assume your scope over-travels by 5%. In shooter you would input 0.95 as your correction factor. In Ballistic AE you would use 1.05 as your correction factor.

Here's the link to the ballistic AE website that explains their correction factor... They divide the shooting solution by your correction factor:
Terms | Ballistic App

The shooter app multiplies the shooting solution by your correction factor:

There it is. I bet.

 

[jdmecomber]

Sirs.
That's it.
Thank you very much for holding my hand and taking your time to help us figure that out

What is the turret value on my nxs ??? Guess one more thing to look up for me.

They are 1/4 moa, but they might not track perfectly. You will have to shoot a box test to figure out your correction factor.

Mine is mil-mil, but I can still test and determine or see if either option fits well enough.
