The 168 smk - the bullet by which all others are judged, was designed for up to 600 yards.
The 172 reaches a bit further.

One drop is enough, but a second value confirms it. You should know.... In ballistics, you should confirm everything.

BTW, the rifle doesn't need to be zeroed at 100. It can be zeroed at any known distance......as long as you know what that distance is. My rifle was zeroed for 200 yards that day, and that is where it will remain zeroed.

What ballistics apps do you gents use and like on what platform (IOS, Android, etc.)?

Well, as you know, I'm on iOS. I have been using "Ballistic AE", and it is a really good app, but my trainer advised me to get one called "BallisticsARC" because it was more comprehensive, pairs with my Weatherflow Weather Meter (http://www.weatherflow.com) and imports the data, including wind conditions, AND uses Google Maps to determine a lot of other data like elevation, coriolis effect, etc. In fact, the Google Maps image they use for their app marketing is the 1200 yard range at ETTS: https://geoballistics.com/product/ballisticsarc-app/. The bullet drop/MV data used when I was shooting there was on the Ballistics AE app.
