The shooter app works great on the Droid...just make sure that you put your Droid into Airplane Mode so your battery does not go dead in a half day. When you get your drop data for the 300, 600, etc., play with your speed and/or bullet BC to get the data to match. Both my sons have droids with Shooter, and it is nuts-on (if you input good data).
That said, I use Exbal on a PDA Windows platform, With Exbal, I can shoot at 100 and 600 in he morning, and do the "target validation" for all the drops out to about 1000. Used PDAs are cheap........

It is never easy, is it. So here I am ready and practiced up for the big test next week, rifle sighted scope tracking well ballistic info out to 300 matches my program perfectly and I start to load up the 100rds I am supposed to bring for class. Almost out fo powder before starting, so I decide to start with a new pound so they will all be from the same batch to discover that Accurate no longer is making AA-3100 as I find because nobody around here has any. So with only one weekend to go shoot I have to start over with a new load. This should be interesting.

So what are my chances of leaving all the rest of the components the same and working with a different powder until the same speed and having the same poi and exterior ballistics?

What bullet in the 7mm are you running. If you give me some data, I can get you in the ball park with a few differnt loads. I will PM you with my contact info:

A 7mm Mag out performs the 300 Win Mag at the longer distances, and bucks the wind well.

What about a 7WSM?
