The nikon calculator for their monarch scopes is really good.
Runs a Java application and you can put in any factory ammon and what your scope is zero'd at and it will give you exact yardages for each circle. You can put in custom loads as well and even adjust for atmospheric conditions and altitude.

Really neat setup.

As WT_in_MT suggested, I use JBM. It's free, and a commonly referenced standard. I also use a program on my iPod (due to its mobility), but it uses the JBM code anyways. With a little interpretation you can do pretty much anything you need with it.

I have an app from Strelok on my phone that was free, seems to work good. I've also used the Spot On from nikonhunting.com which works nicely with Nikon's BDC scopes, it has some other useful info even if you don't have their BDC scope. I'm going to take a look at the others mentioned here as well.

I prefer Federal, but the Remington one is pretty good.
Wow, there's apparently a good number of decent programs online. Thanks for the comments guys. So here's the next question:
Do many of you print out a little card to stick on your rifle in hunting situations that will let you know how many MOA to dial up a target or M1 knob if a longer range shot presents itself? If so, what materials do you use to keep it weatherproof and attached?

Your wife has to be a scrapbooker right? Have the little chart laminated and use some clear packing tape to attach it to your gun. Just a thought. My wife is on a laminating kick right now. Everything in my wallet is laminated now

I print a label out that is marked in yardage with the info. from the BC program, and wrap that around my turret. That way I can just dial the yardage directly rather than MOA.

I agree. For me it is much easier to dial the distance marked on the turret than to count clicks and go off a card taped to my gun. You can get custom turrets made for almost any brand scope at www.kentonindustries.com

Knight Armament Company has a great ballistics program...just go to thier website and look for the link. if you have an Iphone or an Ipad it's a great app...only about $30 and it's just plain smooth to use.

Another vote for Nikon's SpotOn! 'There's a app for that'...
Goes nicely on my iPad or will even go to your smart phone...308reloader

I have the Strelok Ballistic Calculator downloaded on my Android-Compatible phone. It's nice and portable and it works pretty darn well too! I can save the data in there for different rifles, different optics, loads and so forth!! I like it!

The Hornady website has a new one that goes to 2000 yards it's much better than their old one.
