Vince1961 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Guys, Im a new kid on the block re the forum.... To date been seriously paper shooting for a number of years now only exceeding 200m on a few occasions. This is with home loads. I'm waiting to for a .284 to be built and looking at all the reloading bits etc. Are there any comments / merits in the use of a BC Cal for iPad or Android, if so what do you recommend? Cheers Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Welcome to the forum Vince. There have already been a few threads discussing this so have a look back. However the two I'd consider are Shooter and Ballistic AE. Shooter is my go to and has proved extremely reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Isnipe is also good. I've found it accurate enough to put me on a 10" gong at 870yds with a 222 But, as with any software, c rap in, c rap out. So you need to make sure the inputs (bc, mv, weather etc) are good, or the results will be poor Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
247sniper Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ballistic is very good and so is Strelok. Strelok has everything you will need and is really was to use. Ballistic is very good and has loads of gadgets to play around with. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ Varminter Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Didn't think BD was doing the cards to such mere mortals anymore? Are you BD? And I use shooter great app always being updated works BT with kestrel for atmospherics etc, allows you to print tables and charts off instantly in varying ranges etc. very versatile. will look into Ballistics AE too.

Vince1961 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I've just got strelok pro, could find ae for android, just getting all my data sorted etc and rifle zeroed. Weather data, ive been looking at the sky watch xplorer 4 for this. Has anyone used this meter? Comments pls, it's a lot cheaper than a k estral, only really want it for wind speed, pressure & temp.

IanF Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Strelok - free download for Android. Very impressive range of options including vast reticle library giving you the option of running the calculation then seeing hold-over on your own reticle. I have the Skywatch Xplorer 4 - cheap and seems to provide all of the functions I could want. would be nice to have a camera thread on the base to allow it to be mounted next to your fire position.
