Grand Island, NE — Hornady® is proud to announce expanded access to the Hornady 4DOF® Ballistic Solver through Leupold’s growing lineup of compatible rangefinding products.

Previously available in Leupold’s BX®-6 Range HD™ rangefinding binoculars, Hornady 4DOF-powered ballistic solutions are now compatible with the Leupold RX®-5000 TBR/W rangefinder through a free firmware update. The addition brings the advanced capabilities of 4DOF to a more accessible rangefinding platform, putting industry-leading ballistic technology into the hands of even more hunters and shooters.

“Our goal with 4DOF has always been to provide shooters with the most accurate ballistic solutions possible,” said Jason Hornady, Vice President at Hornady. “Working with Leupold to expand 4DOF compatibility gives more shooters access to that technology, whether they’re preparing for a hunt or competing.”

Hornady 4DOF goes beyond traditional ballistic coefficient-based calculations. Using Doppler radar derived drag coefficient data, 4DOF models the actual physical characteristics of individual bullet designs and predicts their dynamic response in flight. This advanced approach provides highly accurate trajectory solutions across a wide range of distances and environmental conditions.
