This app is like cheating! Im blown away by how accurate it works. Total newby to longer shooting and yesterday the guy next to me at the range told me about Strelock. I amanaged to set up the basics right there and jumped from hitting the 250m gong to hitting the 650m gong in 10 rounds. For me that is incredible , now that I have had time to sit down and add all the correct values like the video shows , the results come out exactly the same as the adjustments I made to hit the 650m gong. Thanks for the cool video.
Just a suggestion mate i have a more accurate way.. So with your bolt back measure bolt diameter and half it... then measure back of scope bell and half it.. THEN measure distance between bottom of scope bell and top of bolt and add that value to the other 2... perfection no guessing centre
The old way (best guess middle bell to bore) gave me 2.1". This new way is definitely more accurate and gave me 1.94". However, the discrepancy only came out to a 2" difference @ 1000yds (269" vs 267") so doesn't look to be a significant concern. Regardless, why not do it right? After I read this reply from "Jai B" above I yanked the PR from the safe and immediately re-measured. Great tip, Jai B. Thanks. Always learning.
@@mikewelsh3598 theres no play in a quality rifle... maybe a shitty r700 lo However, a solution to the problem u described would be to measure it forcing the bolt up, then bolt forced downward, the number in between those 2 would be your winner and you get to eat your chicken dinner :)
Big point here is Strelok Pro has options that the freebie doesn't. It's worth the few dollars to buy it. In my case it's 1/2 the price of a box of ammo. Don't be that cheap guy/girl. A lot of work went into developing that app. You get what you pay for.
I bought the Pro after reading the reviews. The developer is amazing! He updates constantly. I sent him an email about my scope not being offered in the app. Less than a week later there was an update and my scope was there. He is constantly updating and for anything you need. This is the only BC I use. It’s dead on as long as you put the correct info into the calculator.
Great video! I had held off buying this app for a long time now, watching this video just sold me on. Thanks for a very straight forward walk thru of how to use it.
Hi From Australia! Good to have found you. New to shooting and getting into Long Range Precision Shooting for hunting. Funny story....tried to zero my 243 @ 50m. 40rnds later on the paper with ridiculous spread???? Turned turrets in wrong direction....LOL! I since learnt of the bore sight method, Much more faster to find starting point. excited to watch more of your play list.
Thanks for all the info. I know this is old content but still great. I'M going to start getting into long range shooting again so my wife is going to have you to blame for making it happen!
Hi Mesure the barrel diameter, mesure the scope diameter, add them together then divide by 2. Now mesure the bottom of the scope to the top of the barrel. That's how you mesure scope height.
So how would I input the data if I was say 3 inches high at the distance entered example I'm shooting 600 yards my solution tells me to dial 10 moa I shoot a 4 shot group all hits but average 3 inches high
What would cause you to hit high on a 1035y target after you hit a 1250y target after adjustment to the Strelok pro app? The Strelok pro app suggested MOA is always too much for closer in targets once corrected at further distances.
Thanks for this video. With my Nikons and them getting out of the scope business, I'm having to learn about Strelok. Just got a bergara HMR. BTW this is the first video up when you search Strelok Pro
Great video ! Thanks. I'm just wondering about the amount of environmental at 766M; might a better test be a 2 part at 100M & 500M with paper target and map the actual impacts??
In order to be entirely accurate one would need to work back that drop on a calm day, Otherwise, some of that velocity / energy is absorbed. The opposite of course would be true if shooting with the wind. I use and like the App. Good demonstration! Well done...
Pieter I've watched this video several times over the past year to assist setting up Strelok. I have a question I'd greatly appreciate your opinion on again. Recently I did what you did in this video & yes I got a different reading than my Strelok. I entered in the new data & like you I got a slower MV, actually 200fps slower. So I cancelled it out as I just couldn't get my head around the bullet speed. Would you be willing to explain this again in a little bit of detail. Is it OK to go with the slower speed? Currently I shoot out to 600MTRS but we are building an extension to our range out to 1000mtrs and possibly 1200mtrs. I want to be able to shoot with confidence. Thank you kindly, greetings from lovely Co. Donegal in Ireland. Hugo
I perfectly understand why height of scope is important. BUT, where do you measure when you have a 20 moa base? I measured under the turret to center of bolt. Is this correct?
Do you have any suggestions on material to read for getting into reloading, or anything that worked for you. What equipment things that are a waste of money and that are a must!
@impactshooting hi piet know you shoot mrad but can you maby explain how to do the elevation holdover on a diamondback tactical 6-24x50 ffp scope in moa..? Will be very grateful if you can exsplain it maby .
could it be that 6.5cm is a very light recoiling rifle? That thing you did there does not work with my 300 PRC. At least not when it comes to group size. If the rifle is not tight to my shoulder, and my body position not well inline, the groups open up. Tried the free recoil thing, though i was looking thru the opic, and its becomes a wild card. From staying between 1/2"-3/4" at 100 yards to as much as 5" at a100 yards if recoil is not managed. This would translate to a miss at 838 yards. on a 10" target.
Piet, You unfortunately did your measurements incorrectly. Strelok wants the measurement from the center of your objective, to the center of your bore. 1/2 barrel thickness, plus 1/2 of measurement at the end of your scope, plus the distance from the bottom of the scope objective to your barrel. For more information check out Strelok instructions.
Awesome, thanks Kenneth. Thats valuable info. I made another mistake and thats a angle of -43 in the solution. I will redo this video at some point in the future. :-)
So, for a scope sitting on a 20moa base you still measure 1/2 objective diameter + 1/2 barrel diameter (in line with the measurement point of the scope + distance between top of scope and bottom of scope objective?
hi piter How should I proceed to calculate the adjustment in caliber .308 168gr without using programs in relation to the impact point on the hottest days above 26ºC and on the coldest days below 15ºC. Is there a formula to calculate the increment to be made in the telescope according to the degree of temperature at the time of shooting? Example: 1/4 MOA for each 6°C above 26°C on hot days and 1/4 MOA for every 3°C below 15°C... Is there a formula for this? Thanks!
Dear Piet. I have a 40MOA base. how do I measure the scope height here as the distance is different at both ends of the scope in this setting. Thank you very much.

Hello Piet, I recently started to watch your videos. It's simply outstanding. I just would like to know, what is the App you are using? I am almost a novice shooter who bought a Tikka T3, Tac A1, 6.5 Creed-more. Please provide the app name, so I can try that.

Hi Pieter ek wil net by jou hoor, watse temperatuur ens gebruik jy om mee te zero? Gebruik jy maar net die "Meteo" funksie op die strelokPro op die dag wat jy jou geweer zero? Of verkies jy iets meer in die middel soos 25 grade celcius en ... humidity en ... pressure?
To be sure shoot a box. Zero ant 25m. Put up a big clean sheet of cardboard for a backer and a fresh target. Shoot a group, hold the same piont of aim for all the groups, go 64clicks right, shoot a group, 64 clicks down, shoot, 64 clicks left, shoot, 64 for clicks up, shoot. The first and last group should be on top of each other. If it is .25 MOA per click you will have a 4 inch box. At 25m a quarter inch approximates one MOA.
I had Strelok on my Apple phone and that phone was stolen. I have a new Apple phone however in the US we can’t download Strelok any more because of the current war . Is there a way for me to recover my Strelok pro

In order for the app to accurately depict what my gun is actually shooting (trajectory) it's trying to tell me my reloads (168g/.308) are pushing 1,821 fps ... 🤨 ... im using 42 grains of Varget which is the lightest starting load.

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs
As far as measuring center scope to center bore, if you have a 20 or 40 MOA scope mount, should you measure differently?
Some of the best shooting videos on youtube. Well done. Appreciate all your hard work
wow, thank you so much! awesome feedback

Loved the last shot!!!
Hi
Mesure the barrel diameter, mesure the scope diameter, add them together then divide by 2.
Now mesure the bottom of the scope to the top of the barrel.
That's how you mesure scope height.
Love the shoutout to demolition ranch, and the content.
Ive watched 1000s of youtube videos on guns etc. Your videos are always interesting. Keep up the good work Piet
Thanks you Hilton 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanx brother , cool vid , now you opened up new doors with strelok for me , keep sending lead down range ....
Hey from australia.
I’ve brought a vortex viper because of you 😘
Thank you for the good video and information. Absolutely agree on ethical hunting range.
Good information Piet! Thanks for putting the video together, will look into Strelok!
min 3:03...why you say that it is very important to have the scope height in INCHES? Is there a specific reason why not in cm?
No there isn't. It can be either.
That app works it out. Infact metric is more accurate.
So how would I input the data if I was say 3 inches high at the distance entered example I'm shooting 600 yards my solution tells me to dial 10 moa I shoot a 4 shot group all hits but average 3 inches high
Work out how many MOA equals 3 inches at 600yrds, take that off your solution (less elevation). Shoot again, confirm. True strelok
Great vids fella! Cheers from Ontario, Canada
