Hello 1st off I would like to thank the ppl involved in makeing the software and getting it out to us and for FREE Awsome thanks guys!!
I have dl and looked at a few of the programs and most look fairly similar.
I will start by saying I am shooting a Marlin XL7 in 30.06. Ok maybe not the best but was onsale and good enough for me to start with. I topped it with a NC star 6-24x50 mil dot scope. I am shooting federal ballistic tips @ 165gr.
Oh and 22 in barrel.
Ok now onto the question. I have pretty much no experience with excel spreadsheets .... I have noticed that the software needs to be changed as needed.
How much of this info do I need to change. Do I need to enter all of the known data ... traj , wind, weight, ce, includeing the yrd by yard data from the manufacture???? Ok next ??? The federal amma site states the info for a 24 in barrel. I have a 22 in. I have so far transfered all the data from federal into the calc but now I am wondering If i should not have done that???
I started with all the basic data caliber weight primer ect... Does the calc "know " the rest of the info or was I correct in re entering my data. And how much will the barrel length affect the numbers from the manufacturer??
I sure hope someone can make sense of what I am asking here. Many thanks to all Dave
