[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 62825, member: 11"] Center Punch Go the the top thread in [i]Bullets Barrels and Ballistics[/i]. In Dave Kings first post is a link to a program he calls "The Thing". Click on it and wait a few seconds fo it to open. At the bottom of that spread sheet is a tab called "Cartridge Info". Click on it if it's not already open. Put your cartridge info in right over the top of what you see in the first column (his stuff is there as an example). Don't worry about the other columns untill you get the hang of it. Then open the tab called "Ballistics Table" and there you will see the results of what you just entered. You can play around with your numbers all you want and the table will keep making adjustments. I have an older version of this program where the input data and the table were on the same page and I love it. Or you can try the second link in the post by Klinkers down below Daves a few posts. Look for and use the advanced ballistic calculator. It is still very easy to use but gives you better data back for your efforts. We (GoodGrouper and myself chiefly) have been making suggestions to Klinkers on this program and he has been very accomodating. I'm finding I like it quite a bit as well. Both programs are easy to use after just a few minutes of getting familiar with the layout. Both program writers are on this forum (as is JBM who wrote the program for another link in Daves post) AND best of all, they are free. Don't be shy. Jump into one of them and swim around. It will make trying another ballistics program that much easier. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
