With Strelok no longer available (I am stuck on version 6.3.4 on an old phone, current version 7.1.9) due to the war in Ukraine I am looking for another ballistic app. For those that have a ballistic app on their phone what are you using?
For the price Strelok really did everything I really needed, but I am serious considering spending the $30 on Applied Ballistics to get the enhanced drag models for all the bullets they have tested. For anyone that has the program is there any chance that you can actually see the coefficient of drag vs velocity tables for these bullets that Applied Ballistics has done their radar studies on?
I have gone into a pretty deep dive into ballistics modeling and the most interesting part of that is the drag models used. The simulation is pretty straight forward but the drag modeling is where things get interesting. I finally have the Gx models nailed down and even went so far as to have written my own simple calculator in Python but it was focused on getting the drag model and ballistic coefficient right and does not have all the bells and whistles the real apps have. This is why I asked about Applied Ballistics drag models as I would love to compare those drag coefficients to the Gx models that are more traditionally used.
Thoughts? Suggest. All appreciated.
