I got my hands on a Kestrel 4000 so now when I go out and shoot I can capture density altitude and other WX parameters.

Does it make sense to record my DOPE cards with elevation from 100 to 1000 yards, with each card indexed by density altitude and bullet weight/load?

I guess my goal would be to eventually have enough cards that when I went to a new range, I could just sample the local DA and find a close match in my card library. Does it make sense to do this? I might not always have a ballistics app handy with me.

Where'd you buy it from? Price?

How about make dope cards in 1000ft increments of DA then just pick the one closest to ur conditions. I don't know how fun it would be to bring around a card box wherever you go to shoot.

Don't over think it! Let the ballistic program do it for you!!

Jeff have you tried the MilDot Range Finder iPhone app? There is also Mil-Dot and Sniper MilDot.

I don't do any of those things.

Thanks for the replies. Once my order from Powder Valley arrives (sometime in June, I guess) I'll have enough components to standardize on 175g SMKs.

Jeff I would skip the Mildot Master unless you are dead set on it. Shooter and Ballistics have the ability to do the ranging on them as well.

Yes I understand our smartphone apps can do all this and it's awesome. But I also want to know how to do this stuff efficiently if I'm out in the field and my phone quits on me.

(Target Height in Inches) x 27.77"
--------------------------------- = Range to Target in Yards
Height In Mils


That is the Formula. All you need to know is the target size. The farther out you go the more precise you need to be with Milling the target. Get down to the second decimal point (1.95 mils). Not just the tenth.
