Ballistics software in metric?
is there a ballistics program that is availiable online which gives you metric figures?



I am tired of haveing to convert my tradjectory tables into meters and having strange intervals between numbers because of this.

YOU CAN FIND A PROGRAM WITH GRAPHIC TRAJECTORIES IN NORMA�S OF SWEDEN PAGE; YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT THOUGH.

Two I can suggest: Barnes Balistix 2.0 and Sierra infinity 5.2. You will have to spring for them tho'. Pricey.

Hi Express

Like someone allready said: Norma has it. I use RCBS load myself, it has very good graphs. Corversion to metric is available, but somewhat troublesome if you need to switch between inches and metric in caliber choise.
Switching between inches, feet and metric in the downrange data is very easy, though.

Guys, Speaking of ballistic software,
for those of you who have the Quickload program,
(V.2.9-B.106), please check the length listed of the Hornaday 75 gr A MAX in your program, mine gives the length of .950", but when I measured several at random from several boxes, I get a length of 1.100 +- .010", I found this out when loading for the 224 LRVT case.

Does anyone's else give the same figures, or do I have a bad program?

Would appreciate any feed back.
Thanks, Don

You have a truly EXCELLENT program at www.robsoft.nu. It is a database application to track your handloads and it is customizable to give you the units you want. I, for example, want bullet weights in grains and velocity in m/s, no problem.

It gives you ballistic graphs and has tons of bullets (including BC and SD), powders and primers conigured. It gives you graphs and allows you to save groups by graphically clicking where the bullets hit. It can communicate with some cronographs.

It cost some USD 10-20, don't remember, but I've had GREAT use of it.
