software recommendations?

9ballbilly · April 29, 2012, 09:04 AM

I'd like to get opinions/recommendations of software available for reloading/calculating ballistics. I'm looking for something that is comprehensive enough to include many different caliber, bullet weight, powder combinations. Being able to calculate pressure would be a plus.
I've never used any software, so forgive my ignorance if there is nothing of the sort or a patently superior product I'm just not aware of.
Thanks, Bill

Bill, there are a number of such programs, but QuickLoad is highly regarded among them.

I read Pointblank is free?

Is anyone using it? Are there problems computer wise?

Here is a link to "Free reloading software"

I use this one a lot.

There is also an IPhone app of it called "Ballistics" (not free).

There is an app called "Shooter" for those folks with Android phones (not free)..

For calculating internal ballistics (powder burn, pressure, etc) QuickLoad is THE option. I find it invaluable.

For bullet flight, I use JBM Ballistics. http://www.jbmballistics.com/ballist...culators.shtml

Thanks very much, I took a look at what Quickload had to offer and ordered it without hesitation. It looks like it will do everything I want and more. Much appreciate the help guys!
