Would like any infromation that you have on the berger bullets. My son and I are just getting into reloading so what I need to know is,we use the imr 4350 powder how many grains of powder do we need for 300 win mag and a 30-06 shooting a 210 grain berger bullet. Any help you can give will be appricated.
Thank you
Bruce Buchanan

Jon is exactly correct. Properly done Java is completely cross platform. If you don’t want it to be cross platform you could write it in something else that is less resource demanding.

This is rather puzzling. Somebody wasn’t thinking this thing through. Nevertheless, it is free and free is good.

I’m no expert on Java but I thought the whole point was that it was the “write-once, run anywhere language” that just needed a Java Virtual Machine to run. I suppose it must have to do with it being changed to an .exe

A quick note…when you hover the mouse to change the Atmosphere setting…be patient as it takes a few seconds for the window to pop up for you to change the setting.

Quick and easy to use

SP,

We did clearly say that this is a program for Windows computers. Thanks for the info on the PC emulation problems on MAC. I will add a few more words to the story to discourage MAC downloaded.

Not a Mac-friendly download format!

Unless X11 is installed and something like the free Darwine app:

.EXE files are a waste of time.

(Note also that there’s no official support for Darwine on Snow Leopard / 10.6.x)

The program on the disc Brian included in his book WILL run on most newer Macs as long as all the Java stuff is installed.

The program seems to be more or less the same Bryan Litz distributed accompanying his groundbreaking book.
It has the big advantage of not being overloaded with all kinds of bells and whistles.
In my view ideally suited for getting started in the field of using ballistics software.
