Finally figured out the Bullet Drop Compensator on the Zulus

[Chief55]

I had never had any luck using the BDC on my Zulus until today, and it was spot on. Every time I tried it in the past, I was shooting way off. I remeasured my scope height and decided to enter my speed at the target rather than at the muzzle. I entered those 2 items and uploaded it into the scope. Rather than the muzzle speed of 877, I entered 866 for the speed at the target at 30 yards. I had it zeroed at 30, I went to 40 and turned the BDC on and it was perfect. Went to 50 and turned it on, perfect. Went to 21 and turned it on and it was perfect. You can get constant range finding all of the time, but you can only use the BDC on a stationary target. That was my main reason for shooting today as it was way too windy and gusty, but it was totally worth it to get that BDC sorted out.

Hey Chief, Did you use a calculator or the BDC table to get the 866 number?

I use BulletDrop+ on my iPhone. It is a bullet drop calculator app.
