Ballistics Programs
In the " Impact Energy" thread I started DreaminBoutElk said there were some free ballistics programs that could be down loaded. EKM mentioned something about this also in the Momentum vs. Impact Energy thread. Does any one have an address that I could find some of these programs so I could down load them.
Thanks guys.

RE: Ballistics Programs
bigbulls,
The one I found was at www.huntingnut.com
I think you' ll find the Taylor Index Game Suitability Table to be pretty generous to the speedy small bores; however, one' s load does have to be pretty strong to rate an Excellent.
A word of warning. This program is indeed intended for those who reload AND are big record keepers to boot. You' ll need to create the " reload" before you can extract the data, so have a reloading manual handy (or the Federal Ammo Catalog as a poor substitute) --- but once done it is pretty hot for the price.
You' ll need to down load the program and then open it (decompress it) with a program like WinZip, when you down load it make sure you jot down where it " landed" on your hard drive for easy reference. Allow an hour for the whole trial and error process and you will be less frustrated.
