About Applied Ballistics
State of the art ballistics solver by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics. Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting. Accounts for all major and minor trajectory variables including the use of measured G7 BC's and even the option to use custom drag curves for specific bullets. Output is available in several formats including single shot 'HUD' view, table output, graph output, and the highly effective reticle output view, in which you can see a single shot or trajectory trace in the context of a specific scope reticle which responds to magnification adjustments and 'dialing on' elevation.
Ballistic calibration feature allows user to 'train' the software to match a specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range.
The Applied Ballistics Mobile app is a professional tool intended for the serious long range shooter.
=== Feature List ===
* Advanced Secondary Effect Calculations like Aerodynamic Jump, Coriolis, Spin Drift, and Inclination Angle.
* Firearm/ammo/target organized into savable profiles
* AB Connect™
* Custom drag curves (i.e. rather than using G1 or G7, Applied Ballistics has measured and developed specific drags for specific bullets, no other calculator does this) for over 700 Bullets.
* Load atmospherics based on GPS location and nearest weather station
* Load atmospherics via your Bluetooth-enabled Kestrel 4000 Series, Kestrel 5000 Series, and WeatherFlow Bluetooth Meter.
* Reticle views that support scope magnification levels and accounting for what you've dialed-up on your turret.
* HUD solution view for fast re-calculations for changing target distances, wind and lead
* Doesn't need cell/internet service to run calculations
* Advanced ballistic calibration unlike any other software available to date (aka "truing" or "trajectory validation")
* Distance, look angle, and target azimuth calculator built-in.
* Zero-atmosphere support.
* Support for auto-adjusting muzzle velocity based on powder temperature.
* Graph your bullet's flight with drop/wind graphs. Also compare with other ammo in one graph
* Send trajectory output via email
* "Night" color theme if you prefer the dark-look

Far and away, the Best
Sorry about before, figured it out and it works great, my bad.
This the best software available. If you put good data into the calculator you will get good data out. I have had miltiple first round hits out to 1500 meters shooting a Remington 700 300winchester magnum using data derived from this app. Buy it!!
My go to app
Always gives accurate dope for me. I always store my information on Google drive as well as a hard data book.
These guys are great! Make sure you follow the instructions on setup. The math is perfect, but the app can only perform as well as the information you input. I had a couple issues on my side and Doc Beech helped me through the issues. It is important to note that the issues had nothing to do with the app. They had t...
