Start with <a href="https://ballisticapp.com/" target="_blank">Ballistic: Advanced Edition</a> (AE), the number 1 (i.e. most installed) App for iOS systems (iPhones and iPads). Ballistics AE (Advanced Edition) is the most popular iOS ballistics program for many good reasons. It offers a full feature set with Ballistic Solver, Ballistic Comparison (with up to 8 projectiles), Target Log (records group sizes), Advanced WindKit, and more. The Ballistic: Advanced Edition software is easy to use, with nice controls. Underneath it all is the proven JBM Ballistics calculator. And here&#8217;s the kicker &#8212; this excellent mobile App software is now <strong>FREE to download</strong> and install on iPhones and iPads!</p>

<p>Full-featured and easy to use, Ballistics AE has been refined over many years, and it supplies rock-solid solutions derived from JBM Ballistics solver (created by James B. Millard). Unlike some other Apps, Ballistics AE is STABLE on iPhones (with various OS levels). What&#8217;s cool is that Ballistics AE is now available for FREE for both iPhones and iPads. This software is now provided by Federal Premium Ammunition, with in-App purchase functionality.</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve used the Ballistic: Advanced Edition program on an iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPad, and it performed well. Here are some of the features we liked:</p>
<ul>
<li>1. Mirrors output from online version of <a href="http://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/calculators/calculators.shtml" target="_blank">JBM Ballistics</a> we often use for initial calculations.</li>
<li>2. Controls are simple to use and (mostly) intuitive.</li>
<li>3. Handy comparison feature lets you compare ballistics for different projectiles side by side.</li>
<li>4. Advanced Wind Kit allows you to account for complex wind situations.</li>
<li>5. Projectile and BC Databases are very comprehensive.</li>
<li>6. Software is regularly updated to match Apple OS changes.</li>

<p>In the world of varmint cartridges, it&#8217;s all about speed. Higher velocity delivers flatter trajectories, and more dramatic impacts on critters. To achieve higher speeds, handloaders have experimented with many extreme wildcats &#8212; big cases necked down to a smaller calibers. Here we present what may be the most extreme wildcat cartridge of all, the <a href="https://www.shop.ammo-one1.com/product.sc?productId=348&#038;categoryId=-1" target='_blank'>.17 Incinerator</a> &#8212; a .50 BMG necked down to .17 caliber. Created by <a href="https://www.shop.ammo-one1.com/main.sc" target="_blank">Ammo-One</a>, a custom cartridge company, the .17 Incinerator offers blistering performance. The special lathe-turned 33gr projectiles* exit the barrel at <strong>5883 Feet Per Second</strong> &#8212; that&#8217;s over Mach 5, five times the speed of sound!</p>
<p>Mach 5 is 3836.35 mph at sea level, which equates to 5626.64 Feet Per Second (FPS). The remarkable .17 Incinerator achieves this stunning velocity by burning over 230 grains of powder in a highly modified .50 BMG case. The velocity of this cartridge (still well over Mach 5 at 100 yards) delivers an incredible amount of energy on target. A hit literally vaporizes a varmint, as you can see from the image below.</p>
<p><img src="http://accurateshooter.net/pix/incin1703.jpg" alt=".17 Caliber Incinerator Wildcat Varmint cartridge"><br />
<i>For more dramatic varmint images, visit <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/blogs/news/graphic-content-hunting-prairie-dogs-30-high-speed-photography-kill-shots" target="_blank">www.FogAmmo.com</a>.</i></p>
<p>It takes a special barrel to shoot the .17 Incinerator. Kent Wilson of Ammo-One, who helped develop this extreme wildcat, explains: &#8220;The speeds are so great we had to use a custom 3-groove, polygonal-rifling 1:20&#8243;-twist barrel to keep the bullets from disintegrating on launch. The polygonal land/groove geometry reduces bullet engraving, which also helps keep the bullets in one piece. Also we must use solids &#8212; regular jacketed bullets can&#8217;t handle these speeds&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p><b>Even More Speed &#8212; the .17 Incinerator Improved</b><br />
While the .17 Incinerator is commercially available, there is an even more extreme &#8220;Improved&#8221; version of this case, with a radical 50-degree shoulder that yields even greater case capacity. The .17 Incinerator Improved (17 IN-IMP), shown below, can hold 20 grains more powder, promising velocities approaching Mach 5.5 or 6189.3 FPS. Now that&#8217;s really cookin&#8217;!</p>
<p><img src="http://accurateshooter.net/pix/incin1704.jpg" alt="Incinerator .17 Caliber varmint wildcat cartridge"></p></blockquote>
<p>*Because of the ultra-high velocity generated by the .17 Incinerator, solid bullets must be used. Conventional jacketed projectiles would disintegrate before they reached the target.</p>

<p>It takes a special barrel to shoot the .17 Incinerator. Kent Wilson of Ammo-One, who helped develop this extreme wildcat, explains: &#8220;The speeds are so great we had to use a custom 3-groove, polygonal-rifling 1:20&#8243;-twist barrel to keep the bullets from disintegrating on launch. The polygonal land/groove geometry reduces bullet engraving, which also helps keep the bullets in one piece. Also we must use solids &#8212; regular jacketed bullets can&#8217;t handle these speeds&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p><b>Even More Speed &#8212; the .17 Incinerator Improved</b><br />
While the .17 Incinerator is commercially available, there is an even more extreme &#8220;Improved&#8221; version of this case, with a radical 50-degree shoulder that yields even greater case capacity. The .17 Incinerator Improved (17 IN-IMP), shown below, can hold 20 grains more powder, promising velocities approaching Mach 5.5 or 6189.3 FPS. Now that&#8217;s really cookin&#8217;!</p>

<p>*Because of the ultra-high velocity generated by the .17 Incinerator, solid bullets must be used. Conventional jacketed projectiles would disintegrate before they reached the target.</p>
