New Ballistics
 
Some of you know that I have switched Elk bullets this year and moved to the Lehigh .458-305 DOA.



Also a lot of you will know that I have in the past always used the Barnes Ballistic Program to print out ballistic sheets. Well, of course it will not work on a 32-64 bit computer and Barnes has not and does not look like they are going to update it. So I have been in search of a compareable program. I really hate to loose the Barnes program as it is very easy to use and understand plus it has very nice graphics display to show the information.
This morning dinging around with JBM ballistics - I decided to try their calculator to print a ballistic sheet for the is bullet.

Not really as graphic but seems to work. You do have to plug in more information - but it does provide the necessary information. And it does allow you to plug in and use PBR (Point Blank Range)

Well the reason I posted it was to bring light to the fact that JBM has quite of an assortment of programs that you can plug your numbers in to and get some results...

But I still like the old Barnes program better...

Sabotloader,

Looks like you have a good new program, but this one off the internet is decent and free, if you want to compare it with what your using for a second opionion.

I use it for my CF rifles, muzzle loaders. That Lehigh looks pretty wicked. I'll be looking forward to your post when you wack an elk with one.
