[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 692467, member: 10444"] I bought this thinking I was just getting "angle" adjusted, but in reality it includes Angle, Temp, and Baromentric Pressure. So I'm relatively new to this, but aren't all the adjustments really based on a base set of assumptions, i/e I shoot routinely at 2350' of elevation. My field drops would be varied based on that base elevation and an assumed temp. I practice a lot during the warmer summer where shooting temps are routinely in the 70's. I use various simple drop programs, but there I input a base assumption for each also, usually 50deg and 5000' feet. I use this because, in general, temp/elev offset each other and since I usually hunt at 7000 feet and 30 deg in late oct and early nov this keeps my drops relatively close. What does Leica put in for the base assumptions that the adjustments are made off of? The only input I have is my zero, correct? I have been surprised by the amount of the correction my 1600b gives, given some fairly small angles, less than 5deg, but adjustments of ~10%. Those readings came at ~80deg temps and 6000' of elevation. Interestingly, the instruction tell you to keep the unit close to your body as cold temps are not good for the battery, but that would dramatically overstate your actual shooting conditions. Would that make sense if you usually kept your ammo in the same chest pocket though, or is that just the pressure affect on your powder? I'm thinking too much and loosing it.......help!! [/QUOTE]
