Great thread guys.

thank's once again mate bloody awesome . what a great help this site is for the rossi shooter . i need these ballistic programs you have mike , what one's do you recommend ?

I think I have a copy of every software program available related to shooting. My program of choice are those offered by TMT. I have been using the TMT product for over a decade now and really like all the features with the software. The charts are from Precision Ballistic module.

Tom Myer's, the fellow that writes the software, has got to be one of the most intelligent individuals I have ever run across. What pops out of his gray matter simply amazes me.

After reading this I clicked on the TMT link and decide to try out his load record label program as i want to get more organized and be able to print avery labels for my ammo boxes. It is meant as a module for their main record program but can be used as a standalone record database that is searchable a numberof way, which I am going to do for now. I realize I could use access and build one myself and maybe I should have and saved myself $26 but don't have enough time for such ventures as they always take more time then I think they will. Had a small hitch with the date field so I sent Tim an email and he promptly returned with the solution which had to do with my computer date format configuration.

I use Excel for reload data complete with muzzle energy and Taylor KO calculations.

Excel is great for working with small amounts of information.
If you need to store, manipulate & use lots of information in calculations to present to the user (of the program) in reports and charts the Microsoft suite database software ACCESS is the best choice.
You can custom tailor user-forms to accept & vette user input to create & format comprehensive, attractive & printable charts and reports using the native Microsoft VBA language which is very intuitive and easy to learn.

Yes, that is the only type of bullet I add shoot.

Hey Ranch Dog, I was just reading my way back through the old '92 posts and ran across this thread. I was thinking there is so much good information that this should be a sticky. Has my vote any way, a ton of good information for us hunter types. Thanks for compiling it all in one place!

I want a 92 in 357 mag in the worst way. I also want a 454 as well. Decisions.... decisions.... Guess it will be what is available first. Local FFL has a 44 mag but that is not what I really want.

[akuser47]

I am kinda shocked that that 44 seems to be the most overlooked in the 92 game I may need to buy one just to see why they don't carry the favor. I think because of the added cost of loading for this cartrige adds to this for sure but keep us posted tuco

Looking at the charts I can see that what I always knew was true. A 30-30 at 200 yards is about like a 357 mag at 50 yards. I would shoot a buck at 50 yards with one if I had to...I don't think I would go out to intentionally do it though, like shooting my 30-30 at deer at 200 yards.

Does this concur with your findings?

Call me a glass half empty man, but when things go wrong for me, they usually do. Am I being overlly cautious here do you think?

Deer do not grow on trees here, not anymore anyway. Sometimes I won't see a deer for several days of hard hunting. In the 70s you cold to out and in a weekend of hunting have seen herds of deer. This is due to the ridiculous attitude of the USFS about fire control. In my area this past summer we had a huge fire, now nothing is left, brush will replace old growth trees. I guess my point is that I feel that if I was in an area like many of you live, I probably would not be as particular and be willing to wait for the perfect shot. But here when you see a deer you had better shoot it quick.
