I am about to buy a new chronograph and am looking seriously at the CED M2. I am currently using a Shooting Chrony F1 and want to get the readout on the bench, and hopefully all the electronics. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38833
RSI has a package deal with their Shooting Lab software. Anybody use this software? How does it compare to other offerings like Sierra’s? RSI’s also seems to have a decent target analysis module.
I have tried a few shareware exterior ballistics programs and they seem to get the job done but are kind of clunky.
Any advice on software would be appreciated.
JBM is considered by many to be first class and it’s on-line and free. It does everything I need, although I’m not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for.

I am looking for something I can put on my laptop and take to the range with me. Also something to allow scanning targets into my computer and compute group size the way the military does (I forget what it is called, “mean radius” or some such.)
I have been using the freeware version of this:

It calculates Mean Radius as “ATC” or Average to Center. I have just started using it recently, but it is fairly intuitive and does all the calculations once you add the scale to a picture of the target and click on the holes. You could take it to the range on your laptop, or just lay a ruler on your target and take a pic with your cell, and do it when you get home.
