I did a write up on calculating muzzle velocities using ballistics calculator and saw a few being discussed in the forums but not this particular one... I, personally feel, it's the best one and easiest to use. It is free and open for donations to the author.

The home screen is very modest bus as you start getting around, it's power & functionality becomes apparent.
As a general rule of thumb, you can just start at the top and touch each tab and begin to enter the various inputs but for startup, you want to start with the Rifle tab in the middle of the screen.
From here, you can enter up to 7 rifles, with a custom name for each.
From there, enter the scope information for each rifle...
Choose your reticle, if available, from the reticle list. The author is adding reticles every week or two. This is one of the coolest features of the app.... more on that later.
Enter the zeroing weather and then the ballistics for up to 5 cartridges in the cartridges tab..
Now that your rifles and rounds are all setup, and your scope is zeroed... return to the home page....
When you are prepared to shoot, enter the top 4 right entries, and the current weather in the weather tab just below the top 4.
The slope angle and wind are pretty cool, simply click on them and drag you finger to change the slope and wind relative to your current position. There's no need to know the actual direction of the wind, just throw some grass in the air and make the pointer match that direction and enter the speed.
