I'm using G7's right now, but I'm tired of having to put in environmental data ever time I look at saved loads. Also, the printable cards are totally different than the full size calc sheet.
What is the best free balistic program?

Dude. Really why free when every bullet is $1+
No disrespect, spend up to $30 or shoot 30 less none-quality shots to get features that will make your day way better.
In my head, I can do many drops, but rather than just the drops the features as a whole, give more value to the app that fits your intended use.
I would hope you reframe your logic and ask, “what is the best silver for xxx” insert what you’re trying to accomplish. But in doing so so sell yourself short by only looking at free.. the trip to the range and barrel wear cost as much as the better apps

Thats not what he asked...
I use hornady. It work pretty well.
It’s is a cluster.. with some settings, but you don’t know that correct?
Drops are easy, hell many I can do in my head. You miss my entire fucking point and didn’t get that I’m talking about features. Do you know what range card is? Print that on your free app
I’ve had really good results from Sendit Ballistics from @DeftSystems
Try it out, upgrade to longer range for a few buck.

Thanks for the plug @EchoDeltaSierra . I shot with three rifles (5.56, 6.5CM, 300WM) this weekend at the 620m line with ~10mph wind and had great accuracy. The app is still young, and I'm adding features and smoothing over UI problems as reasonably quickly as my beta testers can recommend them. Update coming in the next 3 days. Anybody on this site is more than welcome to be a beta tester.

Try Strelok Pro ($9.99). Get's updated regularly with new loads and scope reticles.
range card is easy to print from Strelok free program. it allows you to email it to yourself
I started using Strelok free version, but quickly upgraded to the pro version. It's only $12, and the best $12 I ever spent. This program has everything you'll ever need, and I highly recommend it.

I have tried all the free ones that I'm aware of. Accuracy aside, they are tedious to use, they are missing key features and can be really buggy (Lapua I'm looking at you!).
There are a few very good ones that aren't free, but they are cheap:
Strelok Pro (My personal favorite) - (less than $15) Good user interface, with a multi-BC funtion for ELR, a range card function and a bullet and reticle library.
Ballistic Arc - ($15) Great user interface with range card function. Single BC app.
Trasol - ($25) Simple user interface, Single BC app. A facorite of some, but currently only for iOS.

- Trajectory calibration ("Truing") feature.
- all new features and reticles will appear in this version, not in free version.
- support of PSI pressure units and internal barometer, humidity sensor and temperature sensor (if exist)
- abitity to change target type and select from: Round target (you can change diameter), Old IPSC Target, IPSC Target, IPSC Universal Target, IPSC Mini Target, IPSC A4 Target, IPSC A Target, Target number 4, Moose Target, Elk Target, Whitetail Deer Target, Aoudad (Barbary sheep) Target, Crow Target, Man Target, Wild Boar Target, Coyote Target, Fox Target
- ability to measure slope angle by phone camera
- ability to input current altitude from internal GPS sensor
- support WeatherFlow wind meter"
@DeftSystems you probably are all over this but...
If you could make your app link with the WindFlow and other meters do it! It is what we are all wanting. Systems that integrate.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. It is something that is on my list to do. Since you made such a strong case, I will move it closer to the top of the list!
