    Decent ballistic app

    As above. Don't mind paying for quality but there seems to be a lot of dubious ones for some reasonable coin.

    Even better, any fairly accurate free calculators out there?

    I have been running it on android since it came out and had no problems whatsoever.
    It is what our forces are using as well in the 5700 kestrels
    It is definitely the pick of them as have been in the game long time and tried most of them.
    Also if you have issues with use I dont mind helping you out as I know it back to front.

    I’ve been using Ballistic AE and StrelokPro for a few years now, it got my 270win out to 1148m on steel and first round hits to 1010m last week and smacked over some goats out to 650m on a mates farm last week no problems.
    Just need to validate drops and may have to tweak BC or velocity on the app to match the drop validation.

    Strelok works well and is free.

    I use BulletFlight L2, works well for my purposes anyway.

    I really use JBM ballistics a lot. When I settle on a load I make a range card from the JBM data table. It's a great program and relies on donations only. Lots of other info incorporated as well. Can't praise it enough.

    I also use JBM ballistics and am very satisfied with the results. They have a very impressive library of projectiles to run different scenarios with to determine what will work best for you.
