Ballistics Software?

I did a search of the forums, but didn't find anything with a specific subject.

I'm looking for a ballistics program, free or not so free, that can take entries of knowns and spit out the unknowns in both chart and graph forms. I find several with a search of the internet. But with dial-up, I hate to take the time to download trial and error. At 10 minutes/mb it would take forever to find a good one.

Any suggestions?
XP Pro and Windows 7

Try this one. Just plug in your numbers, hit calculate.
oops.

I saw a short mention in one of the gun mags about Winchester's online ballistic calculator having added rimfire and more barrel length options. I haven't checked it out, but plan to. Don't think it would help what you're needing, but may be useful in other ways.

Online calculators are helpful, but what I'm really wanting is one that resides in my computer(s). Surely there is a good one available. I just haven't seen or heard of one. I'd like to have it available in my laptop when I'm in places that I don't have internet access (like in the field, camping).

I'm still looking through my bookmarks and found this one that has a Excel spread sheet, this is free.

There is a lot of info on this site. http://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics ... ware.shtml
