Calculating near and far zeros

What is a good ballistics site, app, or calculator that will allow me to enter barrel and cartridge data and get both near and far zero distances?

Are there any free ones that are good enough?

I like Applied Ballistics, but I pair it with a Kestrel.
Any of the free ones should be fine. Id probably pick whatever bullet you shoot and use that manufacturers app.

They'll all be as accurate as the information they allow you to enter. I'd just download a pile of the top rated ones and play with them and see which one you like best. The math is simple so I wouldn't worry about that. I'd go for whatever interface you like the best.
As long as it allows to input muzzle velocity, G1 or G7 BC, elevation, wind, angle, it should spit out pretty accurate dope. Obviously the more good information you can put in the more accurate it should be. The not free ones tend to have convenience features like picking a bullet and auto-populating the BC info, scope reticle options to give visual hold-offs, stuff like that.
As far as up this much and left that much dopes, they should all do that as accurately as the info you can feed them.

I use JBM Ballistics, as well.
If you have an Athlon scope, they have an app that integrates w/ Athlon scopes.
