I have much of the flat range figured out. Shoot often. Not terribly earth shattering, but chose my rifle/ammo combo for this weeks adventure. Got first round hits at 539, 579, 618 and back to back hits at 1014 yards. Put the rifle away and have lots of ammo built from same components.
What I DON"T have in all my years is a ton of Angle shooting. I have two LRFs. Leica 1600B which has been my main LRF for years. And backup Leupold 5. They provide DIFFERENT yardages when factoring in angles. Sometimes varying by quite a bit.
EX: Leica 634 yards. Will flash a "shoot for" 579 for instance. The Leupold may flash a shoot for of 609.
I can do the math and tweak the Aps and in the above hypothetical, maybe the difference is only .5 MOA. But obviously the more extreme distance and extreme angles....the Fudge Factor will be more.
I run Ballistic AE. I can place the iPhone on my turret and allow the Ap to calculate the angle/correction also. Which adds a 3rd method. And I don't feel any of the 3 methods would yield data more than 10% consistent with the other.
Thoughts on best or better methods? I trust the Leica the most.
Don't need an "ethical Long Range" thread. I don't think I would attempt over 600 yards on game even in perfect conditions. But my hunt has the potential to have much more extreme angle shooting than other hunts I've done over the years.
NC Montana is pretty flat!
