[QUOTE="JRu, post: 306366, member: 6837"] Guys, I'm really, REALLY, trying to complete and release the 1.0 version of our software that should give comparable results to Bryan's. It's not G7 but G7 should be easy to convert to our solution, and the software could be made to accept G7 input. Currently we're working on high-velocity G1 BC ( the most typical BC advertised by manufacturers ) and some rough knowledge on the shape of the projectile. When we have better data like Lapua's radar data or G7, we can bake our solution to match those trajectories exactly ( well, to the point of insignificant error, at least ) . We're just a couple of hobbyists, but what we have should be adequate for all practical purposes, should someone be willing to take up electronic distribution of this thing. Remember, it's not just for smart phones but for all J2ME ( CLDC 1.1 MIDP 2.0 , if I recall correctly ) enabled phones, that should cover most phones manufactured this side of year 2000 :). Error comparison, long range optimized average G1 and our method when compared against Lapua's radar data. ( 250gr .338 Scenar around 2950fps ) [img]http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm294/ruistola/BallisticsComparison.jpg[/img] ( Shoot! was the project name until now but will not be a product title as it is already in use ) The chart shows error in 0,1 mrad clicks so a value of 1 equals roughly 1/3 MOA of error compared to radar data. Distances are in meters, so 1400 m is about 1540 yards. As you can see, our method follows the radar data very closely for supersonic velocities. The software itself is a very simple "field firing solution" without extra clutter, it just outputs your elevation and windage values. Coriolis and spin drift are included ( using Bryan's formulas ) in the values so after you set up your configuration of rifle ( LOS-bore etc. ) and zero conditions ( temperature, muzzle velocity etc. ) , all you need to do is update current conditions gathered in one user menu screen ( temperature, station pressure, latitude, shooting direction, wind direction / magnitude , range , incline angle ) and you're ready to shoot.

There's a small set of ready-made configuration files for bullets we have ballistic data for ( mostly bullets that Lapua radar data is available for ).
