Has anyone heard if SIG plans on adding the 6.5 PRC ballistic data to their data base ??

I purchased the Sig 6.5 X 20 X 42mm w/range finder combo "kit," to mount on my Bergara 6.5 PRC.
The range finder is allegedly good to almost two miles. Although they say 1400yds on deer. ( but they don't recommend shots on game past 5 or 600yds)

What do you know, SIG doesn't have any ballistic data for the 6.5 PRC in their "Group" or their drop down bullet ballistic menu..

Near as I can figure, I'm supposed to go to the range, shoot a group then change my muzzle velocity + or - until I'm hitting where I should be..

Also: If you want to take shots past 700 and want accurate wind data imputed to the ballistic calculator/ via range finder( who don't right) , SIG says you have to drop another $6 to $800 on a Kestrel elite weather station.

And while I'm at it, the wind dots in the scope are shown along the main horizontal stadia (crosshair) so you have to basically guess at the hold off bullet drop/red dot.

I haven't even been out in the field yet, so I'll update on the incline data here shortly
 
It wouldn't matter if they did have some generic 6.5 PRC data, it more then likely wouldn't perfectly match your rifle anyway.

I played with one of those scopes/rangefinders a few years ago and if I remember right you just put in BC and muzzle velocity somewhere in the app. Look up your bullets BC, shoot at least 5 over the chronograph and use accurate input.
