Interesting opinion you have there.
And I'll state it again
AB is easier. It is not "better" IMHO
Obviously not your opinion.
And again I use both they are really the only two I use any longer (still like ballistics field tactical version but hey that ipod days)
I get that you like to pick an app, buy a profile and shoot with very little thought put into it and that's fine. Most people are looking for just that.
But strelok is an entire tool kit of things you do not get with AB. Ab is a modern basic solver with CDM capabilities that is all it is.
With knowledge, proper inputs and homework strelok will and does out preform AB because it has more user inputs to assume a prediction.
And again with ab you cannot correct the CDM if it's not matching real world results. You can only kind of correct the transonic zone with a factor. This isn't CDM correction.
One nice thing about ab is that if you are lucky enough to get to one of their mobile labs you can have them do your homework for you. Because ab is easier not better
You're just repeating what you're saying, like a copy and paste. I understood the point, what I saying is it's wrong. Not correct. Error. For me, this has nothing to do with Applied Ballistics.
You're making it sound like you can change a CDM on strelok, clearly you don't get that you can NOT change it without reshooting it through doplar. That exist across the board. On any platform except coldbore/Patagonia. Because, they don't use CDMs as it's a non point mass solver.
Something like strelok can help you change the form factor, that is a modified 3dof/4dof function. You can essentially do the same thing in trasol. That isn't not a new CDM. CDMs are exact flight data of a projectile. Not assumed, and not tweaking a drag coefficient. You would need to know; and then have access to change the bullets front area value, dynamic pressure, it's drag coefficient ( not to be confused with BC) and even so, you would have to have a doplar drag curve from doplar of the projectile in question, to be able to modify it. Then when you do, it's no longer a drag curve, it's now a model again. Might as well use multiple BCs.
The transonic to subsonic is where BC and CDM accuracy needs to exist the most. In todays modern times with BCs highly published, is the primary culprit in super sonic shooting, as it relates to data, is muzzle velocity.
Again, you can fix the AB data by
1) Shooting at their booth or
2) DSF and MV truing. DSF gives actual change to drag function. It corrects to Subsonic for the purposes of dope alignment. All the sexy features don't really matter if your **** is off.
3) 99% of people don't fall into this category and it's a nonissue. Again, usually special equipment is involved for a CDM to not line up. The same is true with hornady, lapua, etc.
