5.0.5

July 18, 2023

Latest update to the Winchester Ballistics Calculator app includes: * Minor app improvements

User reviews

Worthless to me

Unfortunately, the previews reviews are correct. I used to really enjoy using this app - now I can’t even pull my ammo up within it. Worthless to me now - thanks Winchester. 🙁

Much improved

Very useful and much simpler

350 Legend Error

When trying to use 350 Legend with Super X 180gr get error and no ballistic charts etc. Seems other 350 Legend are OK just the Super X 180gr does not work. Please fix.

Low on features

Graph didn’t correlate to sight in distance. No feature to show interval distances (ie 5yds or 20 yds, etc)

If it worked longer before crashing I might like it

Another unfinished app from people who don’t know what they’re doing and couldn’t care less. I like the idea of this app but it’s not even finished. 5.56 mm ammo is listed five times with no differentiating info. You have to click each one in turn and see if it’s the one you want. The software publisher knows nothing about the ammo business; 5.56 mm 62 gr is listed as Valor but the 55 gr ammo in same series is not. I guess nobody cared enough to check for accuracy.

Looks like you can change the range intervals to see the zero points for the distance you shoot at, or what the target range distance is. The app crashed, however, before I could finish looking at the information. And to think software quality is only going to get worse. I like Winchester USA Valor ammo but I hope the ammo team stays with what it knows—and locks the doors when the software clowns try to share their so-called “expertise.”

On a positive note, I do appreciate the privacy policy that at least appears to respect customers somewhat.
