huntsman Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Does anyone use a ballistics program? Nightforce have one and Perry systems- Exbal was another I came across. Are they any good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest varmartin Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I use `Xbal `and `load from a disc`...both are very good. As usual though, data input is paramount. There are lots of free ones on the webb that work very well too. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Perry systems - Exbal is the best (IMHO) ballistic software available. Perry systems make the Nightforce programme by the way. I have Exbal and use it on PC and Palm, I also have Sierra Infinity, Quickload and a couple of other lesser known ballistic programmes. Exbal is perhaps the simplest to use in the field and is extremly accurate. I can virtually guarantee first round contact out to, well, lets just say silly ranges - providing my rifle control is on par. I'll give you an example; After a BDS shoot yesterday, there was a "fun" comp, the targets were fig 11 ETR, set out at 200, 320, 420 and 580 yards (checked with laser). The shots were taken from seated position (to make things interesting) A couple of the chaps there didn't know their beyond 300, they had .308 and 22-250. However they did know their MV, so using the figures I had, i entered the parameters and gave them the dial up and drop in inches. They, like me hit all four targets with 4 shots. Nuff said?

Ronin Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Sittining on my desk is a PALM One Tungsten E2 - it was about £100 five years ago, never failed me yet, its been frozen, wet and hot. Very reliable. Always have drop tables as back up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
