What ballistics calculator are you serious shooters using?

[ohlongarmisle]

Hornady had a really simple one online free, but they've recently changed it, was 99% accurate no matter what you ran through it. I like simplicity, THX

Applied Ballistics' AB Quantum is my go to choice. Integrates perfectly with my kestrel

I like Applied Ballistics, but not sure I meet your requirement of being a ‘serious shooter’

For simplicity and ease of use in the field, Shooter

I think you can still get into Hornady’s for free.

Do any of them have the ability to measure group sizes?

I tend to think Applied Ballistics and Hornady are likely the best, too bad Strelok is in the position he's in.
Be interesting to see someone that a person can believe, look at what's around and say, this is built on a good base, does this well, but, doesn't do that so well, or, this is built on a not so great base, but, it's OK for this much at least. Or, this company uses a licensed version of this one, with tweaks for their company's purposes.
The captively predjudiced ones are kinda obvious.

I’ve been using the Hornady app after Strelok when down, down loaded the Lupua app but did not like it, the Hornady is simple for simple minded people like me and gives me all I need

I've been using "Shooter" for years with great accuracy even though the bullet library does not update. I have no problem inputting data by hand for newer bullets. Also been using Knight Armament's "Bullet Flight" milspec version for some particular platforms. No longer available for download but runs perfect.

I'm still using Strelok Pro. I wouldn't even think to use anything else honestly.

About 6 months ago it wouldn't let me do anything, and I couldn't figure it out or why. I just figured the gubment had finally caught on to me and said nope haha. So I emailed Mr. Borisov and he literally took the time out of his day to help me fix and diagnose the issue to get it up and running again, and it was no easy quick task. I'm not the most tech savvy guy... That's the 2nd time he's helped me out and I dearly appreciate it. It's been the best $5 I ever spent in my life.

A serious shooter is simple: know your equipment, your preferred round, and practice. Not hard, but if you're serious about those things, you can excel at target or game shooting.

Thanks men for all the replies ,now I have to check them out.

As I only shoot at known distances - JBM initially - and my own notes/drop chart, after shooting a new load. I keep a dope sheet for most of the ranges where I shoot, as target distances do vary.

Hornady does for a $1 add-on to the free app. It's kind of clumsy. Really easy to lose your work and have to start over. Lots of tapping required and editing is weird. Works though. What do I expect for a buck.
