Re: Ballistic Applications for iPhone/Android
I should mention that I used to use Nosler ballistics. I would not recommend that one at all.
I set it to Mil units when I set it up, and played around with it a bunch. I punched in different variables and it spit out nice little tables for everything.
Then I took it to a match. Just for fun, I had cribbed some rough, generic .308 range values in mils. Stuff that would put me within a foot or so at 600 yards, probably, but wasn't speciic to my rifle or load. I planned to use the nosler data (which was), but I just wanted to familiarize myself with what I could expect from my 308.
When I got out to the 600 yard line and started getting ready, I happened to compare what nosler was telling me vs what my card said.
Long story short, it was showing that the units were mil, but was actually displaying an moa table. Had I dialed the numbers it gave me, I would have launched a round probably 1,000 yards past the berm, if not more. Scary. It finally started showing the correct mil values later in the day, randomly.
It was a free app, so I guess I got my moneys worth out of it, but I wouldn't use it.
