I understand the necessity for being precise in the long range game. But how do you know if you missed before you even shot? It sounds good, but it can't be proven it scientifically, based on the premise that wind is NOT a constant value...
The b.c. of a bullet can't be calculated via a wind call, especially one at 800yds! You simply cannot scientifically prove that it is in fact a 'constant' wind throughout that distance. So justifying a b.c. modification to account for a wind value that can't be accurately measured to the required tolerances under field conditions just doesn't sit well with me...
I'm positive that I'm not near as good a wind reader as you, or as experienced a long range shooter as you, Ridge. And I know that manufacturer's b.c. data is to be taken with a grain of salt. Not sure which use the G1 model accurately or are just trying to market their product as being 'better' than the rest. Who knows...
That said, the technique to modify drop tables I made note of above was learned from 'Mr. 338 Edge', Shawn Carlock. That's how he makes & modifies his drop tables, and I have subscribed to it, since it just makes too much sense to me. EXBAL makes the task easy to do and it is proven to provide desired results, so who am I to question it?
Back full circle. As long as your system works for you to make your shot, then that's the right way to get it done...
Tastes great,
LESS FILLING...
