Ballistics Software

[raadland]

What is everyone's favorite ballistics software? I am researching some different ones and I'm interested in opinions on this.

 

[Hilltop]

I typically use the free one on Hornady's web site. It allows for a few advanced settings and gets me close.

If you shoot Federal Factory loads, this one is very quick for Fed factory loads. http://www.federalpremium.com/ballistics_calculator/

If you hand load, it works about identical to the basic, not advanced, Hornady version Hilltop referred to. Has always got me close enough to start making a DOPE chart. If you are talking about using a program in the field at the time of the shot, I don't do that, but know some who do and use an app on their phone. Too many moving parts for me.

I'll cast another vote for the Hornady version I like the cheat sheet you can print. I'll laminate mine and tape it to the stock or some other highly visible location.

G7 works pretty good for me. of course still needs fine tuning to your own setup

I use Ammoguide.com. I pay $17/yr., which I understand might rub a lot of guys the wrong way, but there is so much information on there it is worth it to me. I believe you can access a lot of the info without buying a membership though.

I am on the Hornady bandwagon. I printed out little sheets and taped them on the inside of my scope cover. On my muzzleloader, I have it taped to the butt-stock.

Great information, thank you all for your input.

Applied ballistics or the shooter app can be downloaded on apple or android phones. Works fantastic. I'd recommend the shooter app as it is quite a bit cheaper than AP. I've taken many animals using both aps and they work extremely well

I use the Dexadine Ballistic Explorer.

I use "Shooter" and have had real good luck with it. Easy to use just put your load info in and save and use away!
