[QUOTE=bfk4lyfe;201490____ I'm stuck at 100 yards except for very special occasions so wanted to be prepared as much as possible.[/QUOTE]
I am in the same boat so I too am very interested in what others get in the real world. Even if two calculators use the same algorithms, if one rounds each operation and the other keeps 20+ decimal places until the final result the two answers could be considerably different. Frankly, I have not found any that consistently give real world results. Pick one that is close for your cartridge/bullet combo and be prepared to interpolate the results. Not being able to shoot out past 300 or 400 yards really puts the damper on getting good data for come ups and wind drift.
