What ballistic software do you use?

What ballistic software do you use and what do you primarily use it for?

I am familiar with 4DOF for field data, no idea what folks are using for reloading recipes or generating general comparative data.

I believe I’ll be getting a lot more range time soon and I have a couple rifle builds in mind but would like to generate more apple-to-apple data for decision making. A few years ago I had decided on a 280 AI for a lower recoil elk capable rifle for my son and other newer shooters. Now with all these new cartridges and the prevalence of suppressors I feel the need to reassess. Thought I would consult the brain trust.

I use QuickLoad some use Gordon's. Remember the results are "predictions" and must be treated as such. Either program will help you make better or at least more informed powder choices. Especially when your preferred powder is unavailable.

I use Strelok or at least I do until I get a new phone. Man I am really nervous about giving that one up.

Because I've used it for years, have lots of saved data that's easy to back up online and to a second device. And because I'm comfortable with it and see no need to change.

I've changed phones several times with no issues - and will again tonight or tomorrow.
