A member here suggested Applied Ballistics but some users reported that it was more complicated than Strelok.
Im only shooting out to 600 yards and will be using old stock of CBC 77 gr, AAC 77 gr OTM and AAC 75 gr. It really sucks that I lost the Strelok app as I had just finished inputting info and was getting used to the app. I don’t have a Kestrel or any other type of high-speed long range gear. I just have my trusty Sig Kilo RF (older model). Any info would be greatly appreciated. |

For what it’s worth you can get the Kestrel 5700 Elite (with applied ballistics) for $645 shipped from Optics Planet.
If you know what you were doing on Strelok, Applied Ballistics won’t be too complicated (app or on kestrel). |

AB is (IMO) the way to go; it is available in everything (range finder, Kestrel, Garmin 901, Garmin Watch, etc.).

Our prophet is Brian Litz and his app is Applied Ballistics.

I've also gotten excellent results from JBM Ballistics https://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi
It has the Litz bullet library. There's also a more complicated version with spin drift and coriolis for guys shooting into the next county. There's no mobile app AFAIK. If I'm using it, I cut tables and print them. |

Have it, love it. Didn't know VPN was route to get anew if my phone breaks. Isn't there a way you can transfer the files to your PC and back install on new?
As to the alternatives, do they have the reticle library's? That overlay feature in Strelok is the Deal Maker for me - I use that.  Plus many other user features that make it great in a field setting. Like Target List for known range multi distant targets all at once, etc. And then overlay all the targets on one reticle image. Do the others do that? On my reloads, I pluck that image and put it on my load label:

If you have a Samsung phone it is available on the Samsung app store. You'll have to buy it again but mine gets updates.

Tagged for interest. I just switched from Android to an iPhone and actually kept my old device mostly to keep Strelok Pro.
Is it really as simple as a vpn to get it off the Apple Store? |

What happens now is State is forcing people to download a Russian app from a Chinese sourced site, and force it on their phones; with none of the security checks and anti-malware components inherent to the Google Store. This is better.

I use Geo Ballistics as a backup to my Kestrel. It’s a great app.

Buy American. Brian Litz is 100% American made. He studies long range ballistics like I study boobies.

Looks like Applied Ballistics is the way to go, but, damn, I really liked how simple Strelok Pro was and the amount of reticles Strelok had.
