Title: iPhone ballistics calculators?
Post by: 509gman on April 03, 2014, 06:19:46 PM
Searches were fruitless. Who else likes ballistic calculators on their phones? I've been using winchester's app but it's not the most precise (only covers their loads). I also downloaded the iStrelock one but can't figure out how to use it for the life of me. Let's hear what y'all use!

Nikon Spot-On, but it's for their scopes.

Shooter.  I've tried several, but this is my favorite.

I use iSnipe and love it. Strelok is also a great program. You might as well pick up Mil-dot master as well, it's free I think.

I have Ballistic on my ipad and love it (the app).  Countless pre-programmed loads, bullets and even Bryan Litz's data on ballistic coefficients for the best accuracy.  It honestly has more features than I have a hope of using at the moment.  It goes as far as letting you program in your load and zero at a given atmospheric condition, then telling you what sight adjustments to make for your current distance and atmosphere.  Ok, so that goes WAAAAAY past what a Rifleman needs in the field and really lands smack in the middle of long range precision shooting, but it was well worth the price to download.

I prefer "BulletFlight" by KAC...  however, I got it in it's beta (free updates) and when it was free.

Easy to understand interface, highly accurate no matter the altitude/humidty, etc...  Can even track your own custom loads.

Worth a look.

I haven't tried it yet, but almost all of the long range guys around here use Shooter.

Hi Guys,
What about for those of us that have Android phones?  What is a good program for that type?

Thanks in advance!
