ballistic programs??????

[viper]

I was wondering what is the best ballistic program. Is the nightforce worth the money? Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Quickload is free and people seem to like it. IIRC, another member said it put him on paper at 1000 yards.

Ummmmm, you must mean some other program. QuickLoad is neither free nor even cheap.

Try JBM and others at this link

I like the Horis vision atragmx. I have 5 different ones and I like it the best.

Night Force and or Exbal, same thing, is worth every every dam penny I spent on it. Accurate as they come. As long as you input the data correctly. Remember "JUNK IN JUNK OUT" I would suggest Exbal for a Windows PDA. With the windows you get the spin drift can earth spin calculations. If you check the web site its all there. Oh and did I say it RRRRRROOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's another vote for JBM. It will do pretty much anything you might reasonably expect from a shooter's ballistics program.

I have an itouch and my shooting partner has an iPhone, we are using the app from apple. We are just starting to play around with it but it seems to have everything we need. Another plus is that it only costs $20.00.

I have a hp ipaq. Can i download the JBM to the ipaq?

 

[Ice-Pick]

JBM is good if you want free from the eskimo site, I have the N/F Exbal prog. here and love it.

JBM is a web-based program. You don't download it, you access it online (so, it only works when you have an Internet connection).

Who sells the nightforce and the exball?

Thanks for the help guys

My mistake, somehow this program showed up one day on my comp though, maybe it was one of those strange viruses from a torrent site

BulletFlight for the iPhone is good.

JBM stopped working about a month ago, the output is better now, but not what it used to be.
Edit: Works fine now, I withdraw my comment. There is a DOS version of the JBM program called McTraj http://www.geocities.com/sadams16/McTraj4.html, hokey, but gives the same numbers.
www.ballisticsimulator.com will give you much the same numbers as Exebal for free.


Comparing different ballistic programs

i use the ammoguide.com site for a number of firearms goodies , it's a free site , with a subscription part for full access , I found it quite worth the 20$ per year subscription fee | check it out you may like it . It does have more than balllistics as well

Another vote for JBM. They have a substantial data base of bullets and their BC data works really closely to my real world shooting even beyond a mile.

That works...

Perry Systems, or just search Exbal and you can buy it over the net. He will email you the software.

It looks like this is going to be a great reference book for long range shooting. See this thread:

http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360306 Even the best ballistics software is only as good as the bullet coefficients.

Biggest difference is that his ballistic coefficients were derived experimentally rather than theoretically. This is the only way to get it spot on.
