Not sure what to make of this. Could be a case of not knowing how to properly read a ballistics app. Or a case of garbage in garbage out. Or...
I have a 308 w/20" heavy barrel and I am shooting the A-Max 178 with a vel of 2552. My scope is a Vortex Diamondback in MOA/MOA and I have a 20MOA base. The scope is zero'd at 100.
My location details are:
5542' - shooting elevation
5610' - target elevation
24.5 inHG
48* w/7-12MPH wind @ 11:00
I put my info into Ballistic AE and it tells me for a shot on the 488 yd silhouette I need 47.2 U and 8.9 L.
My problem is when I look at JBM for a similar, not exact, shot it tells me 11.7 U and 3.5 L.
What am I missing? I'm sure it is me and I am simply not doing something right. I know once somebody answers I'm going to be rather embarrassed that I posted thislightbulb
Edit: If 47.2 MOA is correct for a <500 yd shot then my scopes max is going to be <600 as it stops at 50.x MOA
