    Theres only one that comes with custom drag curves that's the best in the business and that is bryan litz applied ballistics.
    If in doubt buy a 2700 or 4700 kestrel if your serious

    I’m using BallisticsARC and connect it to my Geoballistics Weatherflow Weathermeter. I find it really accurate, capable and intuitive. It also has some cook features like a map and competition mode.

    True. I was out with my Kestrel 5700 Elite and Leica 2800.com today. Awesome piece of kit. AB custom drag models are excellent for long range. But Pricey though.
    Strelok basic is free. And great for starting out.

    I have used iSnipe for years and have compared it to a number of other apps that people I have shot with use and I have found that they all give the same answers. That being the case it will come down to your preference for ease of use and functionality between one and another.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hornadys one is quite good too.
    Strelok must have changed!

    If you have the 5700 elite you get all the cdms for free.
    Unreal solutions as validated a 16.5 inch 308 at 800m and was giving perfect solutions out to 1264m.
    And agreed applied ballistics or nothing.
    I help alot of people with their longrange shooting and wont let them use any other ballistic solver as the cost of it is a minor cost compared to what you spend on everything else and makes it easy for me when I am working with them over the phone..
    There are some good podcasts on the kestrel website regarding why you should be using their applied ballistics custom drag models.
    They also delve into the PDM's as well but we dont have the mobile lab in nz for that!
    Using the CDM's will save you a lot of ammo on verification shooting as the bullets dont lie and their modeling is superb!
    My 2 cents

    I started with Strelok (free) brought the pro version and liked it.
    Brought AB and hated it initially but now use mainly that and nothing else.

    Anyone tried Bushnell Ballistics? Apparently powered by Applied Ballistics and free if you use Bushnell products.
