I am looking at purchasing a ballistics program and was wondering which one to get -- sierra infinity, rcbs.load or other? Thanks

There are some free ones you know and they work. Point Blank is a good external program and LoadBase and other Powley based programs are freeware.

You can find them at Steves Reloading Pages and Spirit of 76 and LoadBase is here.

There is a current long thread here on pay programs and my head is spinning from reading them.

In the event you are on a Mac, try Art Pejsa's program, best I have seen.

As to pcs, I guess you get what you pay for, altho Pecos does suggest what appears to be a pretty good one from what I have seen on a friends MicroShaft machine.

LoadBase Ver 1.0 is a good example of a rare exception to the "you get what you pay for" rule. Gustavo graciously offered it to us on this forum free, and it is an excellent program. If he charged the going price for it, I believe it would still get its share of rave reviews.

larry b., AccuLoad has 35 different ballistics analyses. I have heard through the grapevine that version 2 due out soon has 49 different ballistics analyses.
