There's no discharge in the war!

Can anyone tell me the best all around ballistic calculator that doesn't make you use premade bullets from a company? Like if I wanted to load some stupid shit like 75 gr .308 in a 30-06 is there anything that will tell me how much of what powder to use without destroying my gun or my face ?

>ballistic calcs

If you know the specifications of your gun and ammo, then I've found the Android program Strelok both very useful and quite accurate. For ballistic coefficients, you often have to do that math yourself (there's a formula which is not too hard to use), but for normal profiles of rifle and pistol bullets there are a couple web-based estimate calculators available that will get you basically within 1 SD of your needed figure in most cases, barring funky projectile types like ballistic tips, hollow based bullets, etc. Just do a web search and try the ones you see, I forget which one I personally like for rifle ammo.

>load and pressure data

There is no automation here. You need to either get your loads from someone with experience or be able to crunch the numbers longhand based on the factors unique to your gun and ammo, down to what type of action you're using. The same cartridge will have different pressure curves in different guns. Seating the bullet 1 mm shallower or deeper can change the pressure curve substantially. Do not take shortcuts with this if you're trying hot or unorthodox handloads, got it?

Strelok

>Handloading program

Quickload. You need to enter in a lot of variables because handloading can lead to losing your hands if you're a tard.

Looks promising. Any torrents?

At least make some effort.

There is software for that, acutally. They're some real professional-level software though, and I have no idea where you get them. They factor for case geometry and construction, the powder and load, projectile and its weight and form factor, and characteristics of the barrel among other variables. They provide pressure curves both in the casing and in-barrel and information on projectile trajectory. I've seen them discussed on GunBoards.

Should have read closer, I believe what I'm talking about is Quickload.

I found one shortly after posting that lol

Back in my day, we used to shoot at bushniggers with our iron sight bolt action rifles, watch for a puff of dust where the bullet impacted, and then held over properly. These kids today, with their smart phones and scopes, they are just plain spoiled lazy.

Just look at load data.

>75gr .30 cal

Wew, are you going to cast your own aluminium bullets? If you want to put the calculator to any good use, you'll need a chronograph and maybe a weather station as well.

QuickLOAD is unfortunately coded by an (((Anglo))) and is $150. It also restricts you to pre-added projectiles and powders last I checked, which isn't quite versatile enough for serious custom handloading.

On a related note, I really wish I could get a copy of QuickDESIGN.
