This is going to be a bit of an odd request but a fun game everyone can play!
I am looking for some marketing advice.
I am working on an application I've had in the pipeline for a long time and looking to release it in the next couple months. It is a reloading concordance of sorts indexing powder, bullet and caliber information for the major reloading manuals. It will allow you to answer questions like:
What powders are compatible with a given bullet?
What calibers can I load with a given bullet?
With a given powder and bullet, what calibers can I load?
With a given powder, what bullets and calibers are compatible with it?
And so on.
It's scratching an itch of mine but the amount of data is so massive that I want to offer it in free and paid versions. The paid version will include all caliber, powder and bullet information.
I want to offer a free version with all of the powder and bullet information but restricted to cross-referencing a limited set of calibers. This will let you play with the app, use it and get value out of it to decide if the full version is something you might want.
To that end I am conducting an informal MDS survey. I want the free version to use the top 6 or 8 "most common" calibers. I really don't mind if you use a common caliber and never want the full version. But for those hardcore reloaders and exotic users, I want to entice you into the full version.
So fellow shooters, what would be your top 6 or 8 calibers I should offer in the free version of the app? Only criteria is it must be an even split between rifle and handgun calibers (3/3 or 4/4) and if you're offering 4 of each, one may be an "exotic" caliber
Please reply and let me know your choices! I'm interested.
Mine would be at present:
3/3 Mix:
Rifle: 223 Remington, 308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield
Handgun: 9mm Luger, .45ACP, .357 Mag
4/4 Mix:
Rifle: 223 Remington, 308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 6.5 Creedmoor
Handgun: 9mm Luger, .45ACP, .357 Mag, .380ACP
What would be your preferences for free cross-reference data?
Thanks!
Matt
