On this page you'll find software we developed
for other companies who are making it available to the public
for free. Some may ask, why give away software for free? Well,
useful and free programs spread widely and draw customers
to businesses that provide them.
All programs on this page were developed by
Dexadine, Inc., so you can have confidence there's no malicious
code attached or any hidden payload. All of our products are
digitally signed with our name, and thus, our reputation.
When you click the download link on one of
our client websites, select to download the file to your computer
rather than run it. Once it's downloaded you can check
the digital signature to ensure the file is exactly
as it was when we signed it. Once the file checks OK, run
it to install the software.

Federal® Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog
Federal's award winning Ammunition and Ballistics
Catalog is updated for 2012. The program runs on Windows®
2000, XP, Vista, or Windows® 7. Supports both 32 and 64 bit
editions of Windows®. The program uses less than 6 MB of hard
drive space even though it contains a great many bullet and
packaging images as well as data for all of Federal's 2012
rifle, pistol, rimfire, slug, and shotshell loads.
As before, the Ammunition and Ballistics catalog
allows you to change shooting conditions such as temperature,
altitude, crosswind, and sight height to those that match
your conditions and then recalculate the velocity, energy,
wind drift, and trajectory based on your settings. You can
also change the zero range to see how the bullet path changes
for other ranges.
The 2012 Ammunition and Ballistics catalog gives
you the ability to quickly compare loads both in tabular and
graphical form. You can even print out the comparison data
and graphs.
As before you can quicly select loads by brand,
bullet, caliber and usage. Other options allow you to change
the color of various parts of the data grid, font size, English
or metric units, and even turn some columns off if you don't
need that data. Once you've found a load you like, you can
print a handy report to take with you to the ammo store.
The program includes a pop-up Ammo Expert that
will help you quickly find just the load you're looking for
without manually searching the entire catalog.
Dexadine developed the program for Federal®,
so use this link to the Federal®
web site to get to the page where you can download
it. The program is Free,
so just click their link to download the "setup.exe" file
(3.6 MB) to your hard drive. Once it's on your hard drive,
just run the program to install the catalog. The software
is digitally signed by Dexadine, Inc. If you're new to downloading
programs, see the instructions at the top of our Download

Fusion™ Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog
Fusion ammunition is designed specifically by
Federal for whitetail deer hunting. The Fusion Ammunition
and Ballistics Catalog has all the same award winning features
of the Federal Ammunition and Ballistics Catalog. These features
give shooters easy access to all the information for the ammunition
in the catalog customized to their own shooting conditions.
The program runs on Windows® 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows®
7. Supports both 32 and 64 bit editions of Windows®.
The Federal web team produces arguably the best
websites in the ammunition industry, yet they recognize the
unique capabilities that only downloadable applications can
offer, such as near instantaneous responsiveness regardless
of the speed of your internet connection, or even lack of
it. Such applications are not limited to a browser interface,
nor the one-page-at-a-time view so common on the web, but
offer users an interface customized for the specific purpose
they serve.
Dexadine developed the program for Federal®,
so you need to go to their Fusion
website to download it. To find the download link,
view any of the products such as "Handgun" and then
look for a link to "Download our 2012 Interactive Ballistics
Application" near the bottom of the page. Note that the
applicaton works in both metric and english units. Once you
click their link to download, save the "fusion2012_setup.exe"
file (1.5 MB) to your hard drive. Once it's on your hard drive,
just run the program to install the catalog. If you're new
to downloading programs, see the instructions at the top of
our Download page. Note
that the "fusion2012_setup.exe" file is digitally signed by

SiteLite Ballistic Targeting
System
The SiteLite Ballistic Targeting System (BTS)
software works with any laser boresighter, but was specifically
designed for SiteLite laser boresighters. The BTS software
lets you select your gun, sight height, ammo, the gun's zeroed
range out to 300 yards (meters) and the distance you want
to boresight at, which can be as close as 8 yards (meters).
You can then print a boresight target customized for your
specific settings.
Just place the printed target downrage at the
distance you specified and center the boresighter's laser
on the spot indicated on the target and adjust the gun's scope
to align with the printed crosshair.
Before SiteLite and Dexadine developed the Ballistic
Targeting System software, laser boresigthers came with a
generic boresight target that approximated a typical hunting
rifle zeroed at some typical range using some typical ammo
and required the boresight target be place some specific distance
downange. Such one-size-fits-all targets likely didn't meet
the needs of many shooters and certainly didn't utilize the
superior accuracy of SiteLite laser boresighters.
That all changed in 2006 when Rich Langner,
President of Concept Development Corporation (CDC), contacted
Dexadine wanting to develop software that would let his customers
print a boresight target specific to their needs. That collaboration
produced software that revolutionized laser boresighting and
recently Rich Langner decided to offer the BTS software Free
to the public. Just go to the SiteLite
website and click on the BALLISTIC TARGETING SYSTEM
button and you'll find the download link at the bottom of
the page. If you are asked to enter your serial number you
can use 123456.
The BTS software runs on Windows® 2000, XP,
Vista, or Windows® 7. Supports both 32 and 64 bit editions
of Windows®. The software is digitally signed by Dexadine,
Inc.
Tip For Advanced Users
The BTS software is designed to be easy for
the average shooter to use, so the user selects the particulars
of their gun and ammo from drop down lists. The software then
looks up the typical muzzle velocity and G1 B.C. of the bullet
and displays those values, which are then used to calculate
the bullet's trajectory and produce the boresight target.
We didn't forget advanced shooters, however,
so the Typical Velocity and Typical BC values are actually
shown in edit boxes. This means you can enter your own values
if you know what they are. This lets you use the BTS software
even if you can't find your caliber or bullet in the drop
down lists, or if you want to use more accurate values such
as from Ballistic Explorer's extensive Ammo/Bullet
library.
