undefinedFederal Premium Ammunition has announced the launch of its new mobile Ballistics App, which will be compatible with both Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. The new app has four key functions: the Ballistics Calculator, Load Recommendation, Where to Buy and Where to Shoot.

The app will be available for purchase through the iTunes Store or Google Play. 

App Functions
• Ballistics Calculator: Quickly determines the trajectory for any Federal Premium rifle or handgun load.
• Load Recommendation: Guides hunters and shooters through a series of filters to identify the best ammunition for their firearm and use.
• Where to Buy: Locates the nearest Federal Premium retailers, using the device's GPS capability.
• Where to Shoot: Locates nearby shooting ranges using the National Shooting Sports Foundation's WhereToShoot.org.

"Our app is a great on-the-go tool for everyone from beginners to avid shooters," said Federal Premium Ammunition Category Director Rick Stoeckel. "From recommending the ideal load for any species or shooting need, to calculating ballistics and finding ranges and retailers, our new app will help enhance anyone's shooting or hunting experience."

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
