Software help with 6.5cm RL17 load test

Does anyone have ballistx or similar software that can help me find the center of these groups?
My H4350 is all but gone but I have access to RL-17 and had to do some load testing (OCW variant). I think I know which load I'm want to go forward with to test at distance and gather MV, just want to make sure before using up any more components.
Unless someone else sees something in the tea leaves that I don't.
Thanks.

42-42.4 looks like it could work. Maybe shoot those three again to confirm and assuming it checks out, pick a cw in the middle (42.2) and go with it.

Meanwhile download ballistic X and find the centers

Similar to what I was thinking. Ballistic X appears to only be available for Apple which is why I was out of luck. Is there any similar software available for android or PC?

Gotcha, didnt know you are on android. Unfortunately I dont know of any for that platform…For this ocw, i think 42.2 or something very close should work. Its in a pretty common charge weight range for the 140s.
 
Yeah, sounds good to me. I rather err on the side of not diving too much into the weeds when it comes to reloading.
I'll test it out tomorrow to see if gets me a velocity I'm happy with. If it's anywhere close to my previous load, I'm good and I can grab more of the RL-17 and stockpile while the getting is good.

Thanks, brother.
