Enter the target distance in kilometres and the powder-charge count. The community-reported relationship is elevation = distance × 12 ÷ charges. Each charge is reported to support 5 km at the 60° limit, so a result over 60° means that charge count is outside the reported range.
Elevation = distance × 12 ÷ charges
3 charges → reported maximum 15 km at 60°.
01
Measure range from the current Nest.
02
Choose one to six powder charges.
03
Multiply range by 12 and divide by charges; increase charges if the result exceeds 60°.
04
Record bearing, distance, charge count, elevation, shell, and gun side together.
- The result is between 0° and 60°.
- Distance and charge count match the current firing note.
Two current community sources report the same simplified relationship. The formula is not officially documented and was not owned-tested here.
