Default Ballistic app/program

Is there an app out there that will allow me to adjust the output and save that information?

Default Lrbc

Vortex optics has a ballistics calculator on there web site that saves data and allows you to print a dope (data on previous engagement) sheet. I have used it out to 600 m and it’s pretty close. You can input weather conditions altitude and other environmental factors.

I also use iSnipe and it isn’t bad either. The two programs are usually within .1 mill (one click on my scope) of each other.

If you want the best spend the cash on a Kestrel with applied ballistics software

Ps the LRBC is currently down for maintenance on vortex site

There are many many pages which offer online ballistic calculators. All of them are easy to use, straightforward and allow you to copy and paste results to excel or some kind of spreadsheet program.
Then there are PC programs which do the same and maybe a bit more. I use Quick Target and Quick Target Unlimited, which in addition to above, allow you to calculate bullet properties from observed target data.
There are also ballistic apps which are useful (mostly) when in the range. I have used Applied Ballistics for external ballistic calculations and Range Buddy for results analysis. They need some time to be set up and get familiar, but not a rocket science. These apps, even though designed for phones, allow you to export the data in a form of table or picture file.

Best one for real detailed work and can be saved to excel is JBM Ballistic Calculators. Huge range of calcualtions and variables, full bullet library etc and it is free.

there are a bunch of phone apps but you usually have to pay if you want all the detailed parameters available.

I use both ISnipe and AB mobile. Both are very easy to use.

I use JBM lots. But I want something I can modify the outcomes on.
