    Strelok basic is free. And great for starting out.
    If you have the 5700 elite you get all the cdms for free.
    Unreal solutions as validated a 16.5 inch 308 at 800m and was giving perfect solutions out to 1264m.
    And agreed applied ballistics or nothing.
    I help alot of people with their longrange shooting and wont let them use any other ballistic solver as the cost of it is a minor cost compared to what you spend on everything else and makes it easy for me when I am working with them over the phone..
    There are some good podcasts on the kestrel website regarding why you should be using their applied ballistics custom drag models.
    They also delve into the PDM's as well but we dont have the mobile lab in nz for that!
    Using the CDM's will save you a lot of ammo on verification shooting as the bullets dont lie and their modeling is superb!
    My 2 cents

    To tie around the ammo tin because the lid is loose and the lock is broken? String would probably be cheaper.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ha ha ha a fool I may be but I am smart enough to know that John Wilkes Booth saw to it that Ábrahám wasn’t alive in 2010.
