Ballistics software has traditionally been divided into two categories: programs that evaluate trajectories and applications that allow you to preserve reloading data. You had to buy two programs if you wanted to do both. You were out of luck if you needed industry reloading data in electronic format.
Until now, that is. Now there's RCBS.LOAD, a complex tool that combines cutting-edge trajectory analysis technology with a powerful database management. You can graph up to six bullet trajectories at once, and you can choose from a list of 1,930 component bullets as well as a catalog of over 1,762 factory loads. You may easily estimate the maximum point-blank range in three dimensions by prescribing the initial shooting settings, changing the environmental conditions, and changing the initial firing parameters.
As a database manager, RCBS.LOAD sets new standards. Data can be viewed as text, and also graphed for visual analysis. Data can be sorted and filtered to see the details. RCBS.LOAD includes electronic versions of the Speer Reloading Manual #13, the RCBS Cast Bullet Manual, Accurate Loading Guide #2, and many more included free of charge. Also included is an index of data sources, showing where to find loads for over 760 standard and wildcat cartridges. Additional electronic manuals covering most industry reloading sources published over the last three decades are available for purchase from RCBS.
With RCBS.LOAD, you build your own reloading databases that can be analyzed like the industry sources. RCBS.LOAD comes with an exciting Cartridge Designer feature. Starting with a parent cartridge, you can change the dimensions and see the case capacity for your wildcat cartridge recalculate automatically.
If your bullet isn't in the enormous bullet database, there's an useful Ballistic Coefficient Calculator. A kinetic energy calculator, minimum twist rate chart, pressure assignments list, metric equivalents, powder burning rate chart, and a library of dimensioned drawings for over 496 cartridges are among the other valuable resources. The best part is that this power costs approximately the same as four boxes of 30-30 ammo. See why RCBS.LOAD is the gold standard against which all other ballistic systems are measured.
The experts say:
"RCBS.Load software is almost a tour de force offering, offering complete load tables, comparative capabilities, ballistic software, and more. ... you can have virtually every loading manual ever printed in the United States right in your computer."
Rocky Raab, The Varmint Hunter #36, October 2000
"This unbelievably powerful piece of software is an invaluable reference for any serious handloader."
Mike Detty, LaserCast Shooter's Journal, Summer 2000
