Ballistic AE

I just checked Chairgun Elite and it lists a G1 drag, bc of 0.1230, mv of 1070

I've never gotten Ballistic AE to give me good data on .22's. My Kestrel on the other hand, is virtually perfect out to 300 or so.

Ballistic AE that specific ap, or would you say all electronic ballistic aps besides your Kestrel?
Im using the "Shooter" ap for a ballistic calculator and finding its off for my .22lr (.6mils at 100yds) or I entered some bad data into it? I too am using CCI std. velocity
The ap works very well for my centerfire rifles.

.22s suck in more ways than one. I have never used a solver that will spit out a theoretical trajectory that isn't up to .2mils off vs DOPE. Every one I've used has been a minimum of .1mil off. I doubt there is one that spits out a perfect chart. Every single one I've used needs to be trued before you even take environmentals into account, which also heavily effect .22 even at sub 200yd distances.

I've never had a box of .22s run the same speed as what's printed on the box either...

There is no substitute for DOPE, and I doubt there ever will be because your solver is not tunable to your rifle, period. It is correctable though, and that's why they work.

I was not sure whether to post this in the calculator section or here...

I use Ballistic AE (primarily) with satisfactory results for DOPE when developing actual. Theoretical vs actual.

I could have sworn that this app had CCI load info but it is not there now. Am I not remembering that correctly?

Where can I find accurate load data for CCI Standard Velocity?

I don’t see any cci.
If I select bc/loads/22lr then there is a couple American eagle options. Not exactly the same but that’s the closest association I see to anything cci.

Just FYI- CCI std velocity on a Garmin chrono out of my Savage 18" barrel is only going 1020-1026 as well.

I agree with FIG, .22lr never seems to go the speed advertised.
