Data books

[ando967]

Pretty quick question that will probably get plenty of different answers, but what are peoples opinions on rifle data books, from what i can see on the internet Impact Data and Voodoo seem to be popular choices. Does everyone now just use a smart phone app? I like the idea of having a few pages of critical information (Reticle information, elevation and windage calls) where it can easily be seen without breaking position? thoughts?

I like a simple DOPE card stuck inside the flip cover on my scope.

I keep more detailed laminated A4 dope cards under my dash mat.

If I've got time, I use the Strelok Pro app.

I have ballistic cheat sheets in xls sheets on my laptop. I then do a screen shot and store on my mobile as a jpg.

P. S. I've noticed that out to about 220 yards most moderm centre fire cartridges more or less follow the same trajectory.

Yeah I’m not sure I quite want a huge amount of info as is in the impact data books but I can definitely see the usefulness of some of those pages. The other thing that seemed like a good idea was recording the weather conditions: date, temp wind direction and estimated speed and the fall of shot. I figured this would develop into a good reference if you were consistent in taking notes.
