Dillon Precision quick-ref chart for caliber conversions

[grammaton76]

So, my previous effort was the caliber conversion shopping tool that helps you identify which conversion parts to order.

I just found myself getting annoyed the other day as I had to look up which parts belong in which kit, at which point I realized that all I needed to do was use my existing database and write a small script to generate a quick-reference chart.

It has two display options - one is a browser based chart suitable for printing (I just printed one myself) and the other is a CSV export which will dump the data to Excel (or OpenOffice, etc) so that you can manipulate it all you want on your system.

Don't know about you guys, but I'm going to stick mine up right behind my 650.

As always, I'm interested in and open to any feedback you guys may have on this.

Cool...thanks.

I had a similar Dillon program a few years ago.

...only for Windows users.

My app's the only one I know of which (because it's web based) works for Mac/Linux folks and on mobile devices.

Oh no! 9mm vs .45ACP.......MAC vs Windows.....

...or the thing I use, vs the thing I haven't used since '98 - not windows 98, 1998...

My next project is a conversion lookup tool optimized for the Blackberry, just because I can.

In all seriousness though, I just noticed that the nfatoys thing only mentions the 650. Does it really only handle the 650, or does it handle the rest of the products too and the webpage is out of date? Seriously wondering, since I have no way to run it.

If so - well, mine handles the 550, 650, and 1050.

Yours is better.

Yours is better.

Eh, I wouldn't quite go for that across the board. His app keeps a record of what conversions you have and such (and for mine you re-check all the boxes), so for a dedicated 650 guy running Windows, his can be a better option.

It's also possible for the end user to add caliber conversions to his (since it only uses local data files), whereas adding conversions to mine requires emailing me (since it's an online database).

As with most things in life, it's all tradeoffs.
