Internal ballistics programs

[borbal]

I had a search on this site for the new 'free' internal ballistics software available from GRT Tools, but there seems to be only one mention. I wondered if anybody had tried it and how it rated against QuickLoad?

If there was an online internal ballistics program, accessible by anybody with a browser, free to use, would this be useful to people?

Borbal,

I'd not used it, or heard of it up to now, but might give it a test. It looks very similar to QuickLOAD, but unlike the latter, not a progressive update from a program that ran on pre-DOS computers. A quick search shows that various people have tried in and their feeling is generally favourable.

The website page is OK, but it is far too lacking in details, such as who is doing this, contact details, etc.. The first thing it makes me think of is a scam site for finding (and logging) people interested in target shooting, not good as a first impression.

A further search brings up the programmer's GitHub page, so this seems to be the lead programmer.

Anyway, if you don't fancy registering, but want to see how it works, try their YouTube video channel (first link below), or their reloading guide (second link).

Right, back to work as I couldn't focus earlier on the week so need to finish off a few munition entries... It's Russian tank gun-fire 125 mm HEAT projectiles at the moment, so 3BK14, 3BK14M, 3BK18 and 3BK18M (3БК14, 3БК14М, 3БК18 and 3БК18М in Cyrillic). Thankfully those two projectile families differ very little from each other, or from the earlier 3BK12/12M which I've done, so it shouldn't be too hard. Oh well, no rest for the wicked.
