triggerBallistics Software
Just checking
Do you guys know of any free or inexpensive software that provides trajectory and energy calculations for rifle cartridges?
I have been using loads from a disk for years, but recently upgraded my computer and cannot find the disk. I only use the external ballistics part of it anyway. Don't want to purchase again if I can find something suitable for less money or free.
Thanks

Kelly GillI've not used the Hornady program off of its web site, but you might take a look at it:
