For many years that's exactly what I've done. I used the "Shooter" App to build my chart, then laminated it, and taped it to the stock of my Remington .300 Win Mag for my drops.
Haven't doen any long range shooting in at least 6 years, so was just wondering if there's anything better at this time.
I just received a new rifle built on a Atlas Tactical action chambered in 6.5 PRC.......installed a Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 I had here at the house already waiting for it. As I'm using Hornady pills, I downloaded the Hornady app to try out....
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Another vote for Strelok Pro. Having the reticles built in is awesome. I have both Shooter and Strelok (both upgraded to paid options) and find the strelok pro superior. Reticles is a very nice touch if you use any.

How come the 4DOF he gave me seven Moa higher dial-up than just a traditional bullet calculator. With the same parameters

Only used Shooter, still do.

When you use the 4DOF and the regular Hornady blister calculator your elevation dial up is so much different.anyone notice this. The regular bc calc. Worked the best for me

I've been using ballistic AE FTE for at least a dozen years. I haven't really tried any of the other apps since then. I may have to take a look at some of the others just for fun. I haven't shot as much long range the last 3 years or so but I need to get out and confirm some new loads and rifles.

I’ve some time with most of the ballistic phone apps, and Ballistic:AE remains my favourite, but Shooter is still one of the best. Have you tried Applied Ballistics?
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Reticles is a very nice touch if you use any. I've used "shooter" for years.; no problems except they basically quit updating their data base. Recently bought Strelok pro. I can't figure it out for crap. Not much to like about it

I use the shooter ap. Like Dennis said it could use updating. But mostly I use tried and true bullets. Otherwise I match a bullet that’s close.
I prefer classic.

Bullet Drop works well and is free.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
