Hornady Ballistic Calculator

[EdP]

I've been using it for years but now they have "made it better" and it is useless to me. You can no longer enter your own BC or a custom printout heading. You have to select your bullet from a pick list, which it may or may not be on, and accept whatever BC Hornady has assigned to their own or their competitor's bullets, neither of which is displayed. Previous versions had been upgraded with the 4DoF option, and also the ability to select G1 or G7 form factor, but this update sucks. The earlier print outs included drop in inches as well as MOA and Mils which was really handy and a feature missing on other calculators available like Federal's and Berger's.

OK, end of rant.

If you use the bc calculator it allows you to do that. It's at the top. Said enter BC and you can enter bullter info that's not on the library

I will say the new format isn't as user friendly imo.

Thanks Skipper. I thought that might be the answer but it won't let me enter the correct bullet diameter. Maybe it doesn't matter since I've entered the BC. Other than that it does all the same things as before.
