I need a downloadable program to figure MOA drop and make a drop sheet.

[koger]

Ok, here is the deal. I am switching over to MOA scope for my 6.5x284. I want a program that I can put on my phone or lap top, either one works, to figure the number of MOA to come down on the reticle or to turn with the turret. Just for informal shooting out to 1000yds with my buddies. My short term memory sucks due to 3 strokes in one day, I cant remember drops and so on. I have a Athlon Argos 10x40x56 with MOA turrets and reticle, 30mm tube. A free program would be great, but don't care to spend some money on one either. All help appreciated.

I’ve used ballistic AE on my phone.
Hornandy has a ok app as well for free.

Err, you're probably better off just writing/printing a drop table and pasting that on your scope lids or use the roller mount.

A member here has a free one called BulletArc which has a bunch of useful tools.

Applied Ballistics pulls in atmospheric conditions and creates a drop chart.

I use Ballistics AE and turn on the atmospherics.

This is what I intend to do, thank you.

500 years ago, GunDigest had some drop/elevation tables on common cartridges, they were listed by MFG.

Before any of the Kestrel, Strelock, Applied Ballistics, that's all we used. Works great. Input your data, environmentals, and print out a sheet.

The Revic app is my new favorite ballistics app. They kept it pretty simple and it works. The AB app is a convoluted over complicated mess. I make my own charts in Excel after I shoot and verify things then I print it out, laminate it and stick it in my ammo box so I always have it.

JBM free online version and print the chart.

If you want it on a phone app - the Hornady one is pretty slick.
