I wrote a new Windows program I call Bullet Ballistics. It's totally free to everyone. Maybe you will find it useful. Here's a screenshot of the program:
In the past I used an old DOS program to do this, but it does not work with modern versions of Windows. I wanted a simple and clean interface that mostly just calculates bullet drop and is very easy to use. I know there are web pages to do this, but I wanted a standalone program on my PC. I could not find a good free and simple ballistics calculator, so I wrote this one. I compared the results against several other calculators and they are identical or very close, so it looks like I got the calculations correct.
The setup file can be downloaded from the following link:

Let me know via private message if you have any questions or encounter any problems. For example, some people don't know how to download a program file and are totally stymied when the Chrome browser gives a warning message that says: "bbsetup.exe is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous". That message is just a warning. You need to click the grey box to the right of the Discard button and choose "Keep". Other browsers will give similar warnings you need to bypass. The only way to prevent these warnings is to pay Microsoft hundreds of dollars each year for a "digital signature". It's extortion really, and I'm not going to pay to give away a free program.
