Ballistic calculator

[Shawn_338]

Ballistic calculator for PC? Looking for something good, expecting to have to pay for it. Used to have Night Force ballistic program but it's pretty old now.

Suggestions?

JBM ballistics is pretty good

I use Point Blank. It's free and seems to work quite well.

I'm looking for a Canadian distributor of RCBS LOAD ballistic software. They sell disc only and not online downloads.

Any for Android?

G7 is also available on the Vortex Optics website (LRBC - long range ballistic calculator). I like the validation feature

Strelok is a free ballistics calculator that works very nicely on Android devices.

so not a lot of people making this stuff anymore?

I don't know if they have a PC version, but Ballistic AE for iphone is good. I've only been able to prove it to 600 so far, but it was still on the 8 inch gong at that range. A friend of mine has had the opportunity to push it further he said it worked to 1200, past that it was off a bit.

There are loads of suitable apps, the one I wrote is here: www.gunsim.com

Likely not the app but moreso the changes of conditions in that distance. I use isnipe for iphone (uses b. Litz's bc's) but it usually requires some tweaking because of condition variances. My range starts at 650 yards and ends at 1350, essentially shooting over a valley. Lots can change in that distance. It usually gets me close using chronographed velocity and kestrel with adjustments for down range observations.

I have a copy of this (had it for years actually, bought it at the original Cabelas in Nebraska ). Can't seem to get it to update, and don't even think about making it work with windows 8. - dan

Good point, I should have pointed out that he wasn't sure if it was enviornmentals down range.

I'm very envious of your range.

Applied Ballistics for Android. Costs $30. Have used Gunsim on BB. Clunky, but it's accurate.

 

[madman25]

Shooter for android is good, at least from my experience, not free though $10

 

[backdoorsally]

But what about PC? I find it much easier to do on the computer with a nice easy to see screen and way easier to input values with my clumsy hands

The Sierra program was interesting, but again, won't work on newer versions Windows. - dan
