    I use Shooter on my iphone, pretty sure you can enter the data how you want. Not sure what others are mac ones. JBM is avaliable on the net.

    I have 'Ballistic' on my iPad - same OS as iMac. So it might do for you. I use it mainly for 'theoretical' bullet/velocity drop charts, until I get my FL shortly. Really need a velocity chronograph - then you've got something 'real' to work with

    Thanks Stug.
    I used the JBM online for the 308 I wanted to make a drop chart for.
    Checked it on my 400m firing range. Dialed in 6.25 moa ( 0.25 increments on the Nightforce ) as chart showed 6.3moa and the point of aim was only 50mm low to the center of the group shot.
    I guess thats about the same as the 0.05 difference between the two.

    So updated the drop charts on my 300 and 6.5-284 and will test them when able.

    I'm also looking for this for Mac, although also interested in Windows s/w.

    More than ballistics, I want range software to record targets and calculate groups, etc.

    If not for Mac, what are folks using on Windows or Android?

    Not a solution for what software to run, but Crossover allows you to run windows applications on a Mac. https://www.codeweavers.com/products/

    You're OS should not be a problem especially with the basic info you are asking. Pretty sure the Litz stuff is in a Excel sheet and many more available online.
    Running a virtual machine on a Mac is dumb considering you need to buy both the VM software and a copy of Windows.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I do... Especially if it's from a small developer.
