    Default Ballistic application?

    Getting into 22lr precision shooting. Is there a best or favorite ballistic app that shooters can recommend?

    None work very well with .22's. The dope that works one day can be quite far off just hours later. I don't have a definitive explanation, but I speculate it's barrel temperature/lube temperature related. I have data cads hanging off my .22's, but they are really just rough starting points.

    Weasel words out of the way, I use Ballistic AE. It seems to do as good a job as any considering the kooky ballistics of .22's.

    I use JBM ballistics as a baseline.

    Verify data the day of and adjust from there.

    Inside 100 yards everything is pretty solid. Past that it starts to get weird.

    Why does weirdness lead the way?

    I use Shooter. It works well and doesn't cost much. As others have said 22 is a different animal.
    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
