Smartphone apps

[Guest kj4gxu]

Came across a cool little android app yesterday called "Reloading Cost Calculator"

It is exactly what the name implies.  You enter your components and the price and quantity and it tells you the cost for finished rounds in the quantities of 1, 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1000.

 

then gives you a pie chart which breaks down your cost per round by component.

 

that got me to wondering what other apps might be out there for reloaders.  Does anyone have an application you use on your phones or tablets or even programs on your computers to assist in reloading.  Things like calculators, log books etc?

Thanks

Shooter is a good one. Costs 9.99 though. Also if you have a Nikon bdc for a specific cartridge the Nikon Spot On app is sweet.

I have looked at the Nikon app but haven't bought it.
I found Strelok a few months ago, it is a ballistics app but I haven't used it very much. My limited usage, it works well. You specify your caliber, scope, and cartridge info. Has a diagram for holdover and windage, chart for drop, etc. Pretty cool app for free! Edited September 19, 2013 by jonathon1289

All three of the ones stated above have been on my android based phone for sometime now.  Shooter is great app, even bought it again for my ipad.

 

Re-read thread...didn't see Nikon app.  Haven't looked at it yet

Try BulletFlight. Pretty nice and customizable ballistics app.

Great topic! I hadn't thought of apps for this hobby before. Just FYI, I went searchjng for the reloading cost calculator and the first one to pop up was from RCBS. That one was pretty clunky and not exactly intuitive. It didnt specify grains or pounds in recerence to powder, nor did it give you a breakdown of component cost.

The one mentioned in the OP was, I believe, the app from DOWNZERO. It really is great! It makes me a little sad for the RCBS offering. :-(

Anyways, thanks for the new toy! My 50 rd boxes of 44 mag 240gr JSPs cost $9.21 each... I guessed $10... close enough! ;-)

I like Ballistic for calculating down range ballistics.

Just looked for Shooter in the Apple App Store. Couldn't find it. Edited September 20, 2013 by Clod Stomper
