Do a search for "Lee Shooter". I like it.

Re: Good ballistics software?
I guess what I'm after is something with an extensive factory amo database.

I like JBM for online use.
I don't remember the address, I just search for "Eskimo Ballistics" with Google. I use the "Trajectories-Basic". Its been spot on with everything I've tried (22lr, 308, 30-06, 300wsm).

Re: Good ballistics software?
You'll need to chronograph your loads, or go to the ammo manufacturers website to get the muzzle velocity data for an approximation. Just remember that the published velocities are done with 24" test barrels (usually) and may be higher or lower than your rifle.

HuntingNut.com has a free downloadable program that I've found to be very accurate and user friendly. Large database of bullets/powders etc. for reloaders but no factory ammo unless it's a recent addition.

Perry Systems makes a PC, Palm, and PocketPC version of their Exbal software.

Tons of shareware programs out there. And many more online.
Just do a Google search.
