What does everybody like?  Sierra infinity?  Quickload?  Anything else?  Ideally, I'd like some sort of database or spreadsheet to add my own range data also.

Depends on what you want to do.

Sierra is an External ballistic software, from the muzzle and downrange.  It can calculate   point blank range, calculate zero, uphill/downhill shooting, maximum range, minute of angle, profiled wind, improved atmospherics, revised print formats trajectory in mils, stuff like that.

Quickload is an Internal Ballistic program that calculates/ predicted pressures, velocities, load density and projectile in-barrel time, stuff that goes on inside the chamber and the rifle before it exits the muzzle.  It also has a built in section called QuickTarget that calculates "External" Ballistics.

If you are talking about a program for predicting dopes and you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch buy Ballistics, if you have an android phone buy Shooter, if you are talking about a program for working up loads buy Quickload.

I have Quickload and Quicktarget for external ballistics. They are on an old laptop I bought from a friend, I hope that thing lasts forever because they are great programs and I don't want to lose them.
