Im wondering if a Lab Radar chrony might be able to solve a problem Im having.
If anyone has experience with this, please chime in.
Question:
Specifically, what I want to know is -> Does the multi-BC function in Strelok have a significant impact on accuracy of the trajectory data?
Ive never had 5 BC data points to try in Strelok before but I understand the Lab Radar can give me those data points to input.
I wonder if having the additional 4 BC inputs might prevent the need to do "step 5" of my process below.
My current process:
1) Zero in at 50y
2) Use FX chrony to get muzzle velocity and put that in Strelok as a "single BC"
3) Shoot the 75y target and dial the elevation knob to align impact with crosshairs
4) Using the Strelok "Trajectory Validation" function, I'll enter in the needed MOA/MIL at 75y -> this then adjusts my velocity accordingly.
5) Test accuracy of Strelok data at various distances and make small adjustments to BC, FPS, scope height, etc until its reasonably accurate between 20y and 100y.
It seems some rifles just dont seem to track well in Strelok. In particular, my .22 Impact shooting the redesigns at 970fps wont line up well at all.
On the other hand, my .30 impact shooting 44.75g at 860 lines up perfectly with the Strelok table.
While I have been able to tweak the Strelok settings to get reasonable alignment, its frustrating to have to re-do step 5 above every time I make changes to my rifle.
Maybe step 5 is just a necessary evil on some rifles, but if the multi-BC data has a meaningful impact on accuracy, I'd spring for it.
Thanks for weighing in with your thoughts.
