Do you guys have any recommendations on the best reloading or ballistics programs out there?

I tried to search the forum, but that function does not work for me since the upgrade.

For an external program PointBlank is free and plenty good enough.

For a basic internal program the freeware with Powleys calculations work fine on imr powder.

I just bought Calculoader for about $30 and it's good. I have had others and lost them in old computers or crashes.

Go easy on this stuff. You want the loading books first.

I have a ton of them at http://stevespages.com/page8b.htm

Download them and see which one you like the best.
