Lapua seems easy to use and intuitive.

Strelok Pro for me too.

I don't know if my android app works on both platforms, but I like the Sniper Calculator graphics, and a Chrome bookmark on my home page - http://gundata.org/ballistic-calculator/ - for a general path graph and numbers. It can take atmospheric data and the whole 9. (I have to turn my phone sideways and finger zoom into the data inputs, but it works.) I have it on my computer too so that I can print out graphs and numbers for certain loads before going to shoot.

Whats the difference between regular Strelock and the "Pro" version?

More complete bullet and scope libraries on the pro IIRC.

I've used Strelok PRO on my notebook and have Shooter on my phone. I think Shooter is better for giving a solution that gives a first round hit past 650 yards given the same information. By that I mean bullet weight, fps, yardage & wind information. If I don't have a good Internet signal most of the other atmospherics are missing.

Strelok was more user friendly for me in the beginning but I'm getting to know the ins & outs of shooter now and find myself using Strelok less & less now.

Applied Ballistics, enter the inputs correctly and you will have no problems.
2 seasons ago in Montana a couple of my buddies were making first round hits at 900 on some rocks about the size of a coffee can, we also had their info entered properly and a couple practice trips to the range before the hunt to verify everything. They built a ton of confidence when they knew that they could hit that target first round.

Yes, another vote for Applied Ballistics. It doesn't have a free version, and that's why I'm not using it, yet. lol But I have heard several people that I respect recommending it highly. I will probably get it later on, after I have played with the free ones long enough.

If you can afford a Kestrel Wind Meter & Atmospheric Data, it has a companion smart phone app and you hook it to your phone for live data. But the Kestrels are so expensive, this is a setup more for top level shooters only.

Just thought I'd throw this one in there as well.

Wow, lots of replies and not one of them recommended the Shooter App. I love my Shooter App, but there is no updates for it nor is there any support.

Following!!

The last time I bought ABM it was 30 bucks i think, thats less than 100 Bergers

Before you purchase for an I Phone, check reviews because a number of apps have bombed following the routine phone update. I like Trasol on my android but know it bombed on the I Phone. Besides AB and Trasol the computations are the same for the other apps, the appearance is different.

I'm going to throw my hat in for GeoBallistics. Pretty comprehensive bullet library and has a built-in mapping feature to measure out distances and mark multiple targets. They make a wind meter ($40 & $80 depending on features you want) that has been very accurate for me.

Got me first round hit out to 1200yds on a 24" steel plate and my buddy dropped a coyote at 635yds using it as well.

Another vote for sterlok pro. Seems accurate, give ft pounds of energy at ranges, good for round selection for hunting. I like layout

 

[xswanted]

I like StrelokPro as well.

Running Ballistic AE and TRASOL

When I used phone apps, AB was my favorite, still have it on my phone and will build profiles for others when shooting if needed. That said I have not got an upgrade for it in a yr and a half, so newer bullets aren't in the library.
