I thought you were asking about balistic and drop programs initially. I don't have enough loads that require that kind of computer power.

For field conditions and live data shooting long range, I do use Exbal balistic program loaded on my Dell Axim handheld (pocket PC). I have all the long gun loads (and short guns) pre-programmed including my handload data. I simply type in today's current temperature, wind, elevation and my drop chart comes out perfect, or close enough for my purposes. It's a lot better than practicing in 90 degree weather during the summer and wondering what that 15 degree winter weather is going to do to your bullet as those long ranges seeing as how there's a 75 degree difference. And oh yes, that is a factor!

Anyhow, my Exbal can be purchased for the handhelds and PC's. You can put all your hand load information in each file for safe keeping.
