Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you and someone with more experience can help me.
I purchased Strelok Pro and the WeatherFlow wind meter.
I zeroed my rifle at 35 yards and it shoots 870 fps using JSB 44.75 Exact. Length of pellet was .375 and I used BC .043.
Scope height is 2.71. the scope is a Hawke Airmax 30 IR 4-16 x 50 .250 MOA adjustment
I shot all shots at 16x power.
I checked the zero at 35 yards when I first went out. The wind was variable from 3 to 7 mph. about 70 degrees from my back counter clockwise or 20 degrees clockwise from my front.
It was hard to get an exact measurement because the wind was so intermittent.
At 50 yards I shot about 30 rounds testing the elevation and windage.
The elevation was very close within 1-2 clicks from Apt reading. The Apt showed 1.4 MOA or 5.6 clicks from zero.
It was hard to tie down the the windage but I would look at the horizontal adjustment shoot and then look back at the adjustment to see if it was still the same. Some shots were close and some were different by 1 or 2 MOA.
I didn't adjust for windage to hit zero but I would aim at center point each time and measure the wind drift with the scope to see if it actually matched up with the Apt reading. It was very close at 50 yards. I would say within 1/2 MOA.
At 100 yards it got a bit harder.
Elevation: the Apt showed 12.23 MOA or 48.9 clicks
actual was 13.25 MOA or 53 clicks from zero for elevation. A difference of about 1 MOA
Windage: was a bit more difficult. The wind where I sat differed quite a bit than what it was out at the target. I setup up a flag out at the target to have something to judge the difference. I was getting a 1- 1.5 MOA difference from actual to Apt readings.
A question for those of you that know this Apt better than me. Where should I adjust to get a closer adjustment for elevation out at 100 yards?
The wind is a tough one because it was so variable.
The wind stopped blowing while I was shooting at 100 yards so I was able to confirm my adjustments for windage and elevation which made me more confident of the data on the Apt.
Thanks for your input
