What's the best ballistic calculator app (for iPhone please) available?
Hopefully one that doesn't tie you down to their own products like the Winchester Ballistic Calc app.
Thanks

iSnipe is a great one. Big database too, all sorts of brands. You'll like it!

I have been using Nikons ballistic calculator.I have checked it with various scopes(not just Nikons).I just use the scope selector that best fits the scope I want to use,enter the data.It has been very accurate,I print out a 2.5"X 4.00" image of my scope reticle showing the ranges.Then I laminate it and put in my pocket.The real trick is to know your bullet speed using a Chronograph for your load,then it is very accurate.

iStrelok is free last time I checked, and does a pretty good job.

Try the JBM Ballistic FTE available from the iTune store. Best out there for iPhone iPad etc.

I use the bullet flight app in my i-phone. Very good results.

I use "BulletDrop" by Mark Descalzo for my IPhone.
