[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1386062, member: 21361"] Will try to add .02 worth to this discussion. I am way behind the curve as to ballistics programs that can provide the CORRECT answer for a single shot at long distances. Coming from sea level Seattle to 6,500 feet in the Rockies I note my 6.5 x 284, which I have been shooting for 16 years, shoots flatter to the point you can tell on a target at 300 yards. So your statements as to entering 0 for altitude in your programs, really takes some adjustment on my part. I do understand you are speaking of arriving ata right answer and this is the best way to manipulate a ballistics program to achieve a correct conclusion. I have never used my I phone in the field to use a ballistics program, and realize I will also have to carry my anenomoter along also to access the correct data for that location and weather information. Bottom line to me is this: I have been told by a very savvy shooter that if you compare between free programs and very expensive ballistics programs, the actual difference between accuracy at long range is very little. The bottom line for me is which is the very best program i want for my I phone, for the money? Thanks for your attention in this matter. Gene S. [/QUOTE]
