I don't understand how that is possible, unless I'm (obviously) not understanding the "trueing" process.If your zero'd at 2 that wont change, since thats your known input.
Truing the data will change ALL the drop #s the calculator spits out before and afterwards, but they should corelate more precisely than previously.
For example: If I increase the MV so that my 300 yard hits are spot on using the 1.5 MOA reticle marker, then all of my downrange velocities will be incorrect. The app will apply the new MV across the board. Same is true if I change BC. It will apply the new (false) BC across the board, and that will change velocities and points of impact throughout my dope card.
I do get that 200 yards will still say "zero" and I will still spot on at 200 yards. but everything else will change.
I guess I'm most concerned about down rang velocity because, at least for hunting, I'm using that to determine my outer limit to take game. For example, if my new "true" dope card shows 2000 fps at 450 yards, (currently that's at 400), and I shoot a caribou at 450, the projectile won't expand because it's not really going 2000 fps.
