Default I have seen the JBM light!

Well I finally decided to bust out my cronograph and punch in all my data into a JBM calculator to see how it compares to my actual data. That thing was right on (+/- .25 MOA)! Well at least up to 600 yds since I haven't gotten data for anything past that in its new setup.

JBM has always been very reliable. So has the nightforce software. Even though I choked at the match I got my dope for the buffalo at 865 with it.

It usually works pretty well. Its imperative that all the conditions are accurately entered. Up here where temperature swings can be extreme, it can change things quite a bit.

Actually.. it seems to match perfectly only if I make elevation 0 and my objective height 1.5. Incorrect inputs.. but the outputs are perfect

At what elevation were you shooting? If incorrect input yielded correct output, correct input may be incorrect.

I find that JBM...along with most ballistic programs to be within .25 to .5MOA out to 600yards and then within 1MOA out to 1K.
