Lapua just published 100% free way to calculate top-accurate ballistics for their bullets.
Quick Target Unlimited uses Doppler radar -based Cd values instead of BC -value.

About QuickTarget Unlimited (QTU) Lapua Edition
o
QuickTarget Unlimited Lapua Edition (QTU Lapua Edition) is a sophisticated
exterior ballistic software that can utilize top-accurate Doppler radar
measurements of bullet trajectories. These continuous air drag coefficients make it
possible to calculate the trajectory of your bullet much more accurately than using
the simplified one-number B.C.
o
Now Lapua is first to offer this radar-data and these top-accurate ballistic
calculations for civilian long-range shooters. Software is available from
www.lapua.com web-site under “Lapua ballistic site”. Only for registered users.
Registration is free and available for everyone.
o
Basically, as starting values you will need only bullet type and muzzle velocity.
Software will calculate e.g. bullet drop, velocity and energy as a function of
distance and the flying time. If wind conditions (direction and speed) are known
you can calculate also wind drift. The program has also many features useful for
adjusting your scope. All fine features of the software can be found in the manual
downloadable from Lapua web-site (downloads section).
o
QTU Lapua Edition is a special version of normal QTU that is tailored for Lapua
bullets. The full version of QuickLoad (QL) and QuickTarget (QT) programs
(QL+QT+QTU) can be purchased from dealers listed here. QuickLOAD© and
QuickTarget© are Copyright 1988-2009 of H.G.Broemel, Neubruecker Weg 15,

Tips for QuickTarget Unlimited (QTU) Lapua Edition
o
This QTU Lapua Edition includes ballistic radar data of most (but so far not 100%)
Lapua bullets designed for long-range target shooting. For other Lapua bullets
user can use traditional Ballistic coefficient B.C. in calculations. It is not possible to
add data of other bullets to this Lapua Edition.
o
QTU Lapua Edition should work at least in following Windows versions: Windows
98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows
Vista, both professional and home editions. Under Windows XP and Vista you
must log-in under admin account to be able to install! Windows 95 may function,
but it is dependent on Service Pack of Internet Explorer used. Apple Mackintosh
version is not available. This program is available only in English language.
o
Only QuickTarget Unlimited versions (both normal and Lapua Edition) can utilize
the ballistic radar data (drag coefficient table CD). Normal QuickTarget can not do
that. Both can use traditional B.C.
o
Manual for using the program can be downloaded from Lapua web-site Downloads
section and it will be installed as a separate text file (qtu_lapua.pdf) when
downloading the program.
o
Screen-format of 1024x768 or higher is recommended. You will need about 5 Mb
free disk space. If you have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader you will need
additional 10 Mb.
