[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1530106, member: 17889"] You are correct that the $29.99 app has terrible reviews and apparently zero current AB support. However, the programs in the Kestrel, Sig Kilo and the full blown stand alone computer program from AB allow one to access the Custom Drag Curves for specific bullets. The programs are very accurate and are state of the art. Attend the AB Seminar and you get the full program included in the registration cost. That version includes the WEZ and other features not in the Kestrel and Sig devices. Using a BC always diverges from actual nearing transonic region below 1340-1325fps. A BC is only accurate at specific velocity as BC is speed dependent. I use the Terrapin X linked to the Kestrel 5700ABS, and, the full program on a tablet (full WIN 10 version...not mobile...and USB required) to go beyond just the specific ballistics. Don't get the Kilo...redundant program; less accurate/capable that Terrapin X; high potential for using unintended profile; only 4 profiles supported at a time, etc. Pay once; cry once. [/QUOTE]
