  Love this stuff. Just recently I went deeper down the handloading rabbit hole with your headspace comparator tool.

  have to ask, with your database vs Applied Ballistics radar and their database, how does the 2 Ballistic Calculators compare.

  Getting ready for finals and then QC comes on and I’m back in class. I am grateful to be studying manufacturing engineering and I have a base to understand this better than I would have just out of high school.

  Thx guys 4DOF is incredible I've hit at 1386yd in 4MPH wind with 140gr ELDs with 6.5 Creed with 20" barrel using out of the box Ruger Hunter using programs dope. Your ELDs are all I will load they are freaky accurate!!!

  Excellent series - Thanks Hornady ballistic geeks - Seth, Jayden and all the others behind the scenes. I didn't realize that the 4DOF is on desktop computer as well as on the iPhone. Make sure you let everyone know. I feel pretty comfortable entering information, but I'm sure myself and others will be looking forward to the step by step podcast version. I would also be a good idea to suggest downloading the 4DOF technical papers to refresh what Jayden was teaching us along with more technical stuff. Love it.

  Thank you for sharing this information. &nbsp;I have always wondered how the science behind the program works.

  4dof is a fantastic program! Though it won&apos;t make a shooter what he isn&apos;t. Learned that the other month, actially. We went out hoping for 1.3k yards, had targets from 300 on out and had all the data. (6.5cm, 140gr eldm, 2700 fps) when the targets finally got set up, a storm front rolled in with 15-20mph sustained winds with gusts even higher. the whole 9 yards. We were irritated, but we set up the targets, so we were going to shoot gosh darn it. Lol. Fired probably 40 rounds, didn&apos;t hit a thing past 450yds. I guess I need a LOT more practice with wind and to learn when to call it a day.
