[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 1034034, member: 20443"] This always makes me shake my head. We spend 750-2000+ on a scope, 750-4000+ on a rifle, lots of time on reloading and load tuning not to mention hundreds or thousands on hunting trips. All to find the cheapest app we can get away with. Which as far as I'm concerned is probably the most important component of longrange hunting. I guess if all you are wanting is to see how far you can hit stuff this is no big deal. If you are serious about longrange hunting I would recommend you buy multiple apps and see which one works for you, how you input data and matches your field shooting. I have tried applied ballistics, bulletflight fte and ballistic ae. They all have good features aND things I like and don't like.

But even with tweaking and using the custom g7 drag model for my 180 bergers it was just never quite right on.
