Ballistic application?

Getting into 22lr precision shooting. Is there a best or favorite ballistic app that shooters can recommend?

None work very well with .22's. The dope that works one day can be quite far off just hours later. I don't have a definitive explanation, but I speculate it's barrel temperature/lube temperature related. I have data cads hanging off my .22's, but they are really just rough starting points.

Weasel words out of the way, I use Ballistic AE. It seems to do as good a job as any considering the kooky ballistics of .22's.

I use JBM ballistics as a baseline.

Verify data the day of and adjust from there.

Inside 100 yards everything is pretty solid. Past that it starts to get weird.

Why does weirdness lead the way?

I use Shooter. It works well and doesn't cost much. As others have said 22 is a different animal.
