Hi Y'all,
For a free ballistics program, go to http://huntingnut.com/
It is free, and I do use it.
Has a good graphic trajectory,and you can keep your loads for reference.

I have bought some programs in the past.
One, can't find the company. It is DOS based.Don't work with Windows.
It is called "Fireline".It is not "mouse based" like Winders.You have to enter everything by keyboard.Was my first one I bought.
Sierra Bullets has a good one.Have this one. As well as "Quick Load","Load From A Disk","Lee Shooter", and a few others.
The "Quick Load" program, is like one guy said "It's a bit pricey". About $ 147.00 (there about).
Anyone else found any more ?

Hi Toney,
You are welcome.
Yes it is a neat program.
At least, with some members, it will get you by,until the more expensive ones can be bought.
Has a fairly extensive list ing of powder,bullets,cases, and primers.
You can also add to the lists, that don't have a particular bullet,primer, and powders.
Tried to add the 320gr JDJ. For me, I did just as the instructions said. It won't list it.
Just add it to the load info,then save it.
---------------------------------------
At least,some good news: found the instruction manual for my PACT chrono-
graph. Now, I know WHY the chronograph hasn't worked while at the range.
Won't have to buy another one. ;)
Wrote the instructions (basic) on top of the case.This thing will work when
needed.
