Default Shooting App

Are there any shooting apps out there that can get in the ball park of bullet drop so you can get some idea of the elevation adjustment in mils needed to get on target.

Are you strictly looking for an app on your phone? I use a Kestrel 5700 with elite ballistics. Once I have all the info gathered and entered then it’s super precise with generating bullet drop at any range.

Most accurate I have used is the Applied Ballistic program paired to a Kestrel or a Garmin 701. However unless you are shooting a lot in different conditions at extreme ranges the Hornady 4DOF is excellent for a phone app.

The Hornady one looks nice but I’m looking for one that can do .22LR ammo mainly.

I run strelok pro. It has been very accurate for me it even has all the 22lr ammo or bullet BC in its database. Strelok pro has both a huge bullet/ammo database and scope reticle choices. I've tried most of the apps and while applied ballistics is good and does come up with good accurate dope strelok seems to be just as accurate and has so many more features.

Actually it’s a 20 MOA Base as I couldn’t find a 40. 😂😎

Actually truth be told I don’t want to waste ammo lobbing round after round down range until I find the target. So if I can get a jumping off point to get started all the better. I would like to start the PRS League and some of the targets will at a distance that will require and adjustment for zero.
