Free Ballistic App From Sierra/Barnes

Has anyone used this app that Sierra/Barnes has put out? It is free and was in the Daily Bulletin a day or two ago. You can use any bullet, doesn’t have to be Sierra or Barnes.
Anyway, I put my data in on a couple rifles and it is pretty much what Shooter and StrelokPro put out and I use them alot with good results. You can look it up in the Daily Bulletin or here is the link. It’s free and accurate. Hope this helps someone.


Edited to add : it works on IPhone and Android
 
I was not able to move the scope setting off 'mils'.
Touch on the MILS. It should have a scroll type screen. That’s the way it works for me. Took a little while to figure out where stuff went but once I played with it I got it where it was right with Shooter and StrelokPro.
I believe Sierra would like to have user’s input on what people would want changed.
 
Thanks. I finally found it on the rifle details page.
Agree with you. It takes a little searching and could be made more user friendly. Perhaps that is why Sierra is looking for input to make it better. I will be sending my recommendations and hopefully they will listen. It seems to be a decent app but needs some tweaking.
 
I have put several of my rifles and loads in it. They are very close to Shooter and Strelok Pro which I trust. I had to play with it as it wasn’t as user friendly as Shooter a Strelok Pro. I have it now where it is close to the other apps. You might contact Sierra for help.
 
I just set up mine. It’s dead on what GeoBallistics calls for which today was correct for my 6br. Thanks

It actually changes elevation with head and tail wind direction which GeoBallistics or applied ballistics doesn’t on my apps
 
I did the download yesterday and put in my three rifles. Haven't had time to really work with it yet. Not sure I really need it either since I load to hunt only. Rarely get to shoot a 300 yard range and hit where I need to when I do.
 
Started with Shooter, I now use Strelok Pro, albeit currently way out of current version due to sanctions (fantastic features). Loaded Truedata as a teaching-tool to help friend that is new to firearms; yes. There is a learning curve but like it for simplicity. Carefully ensured input was same for all three. The only thing I can't figure out, for a 22LR rifle is the disparity for spin drift at 100 yards (no wind) - Strelok .1, Shooter .2, and Truedata .3 MOA. I know they use similar if not the same algorithm, and rounding values will impact results but it's driving me nuts.

I recently entered all my PDn loads in TrueData.

I like it.

The "Zero Conditions" was unique to me and will be useful in the future. I have temp notes on many of my load development targets but unfortunately not humidity or air pressure.
