Default WANTED-COMPUTER EXPERTS

I am a long way from a computer expert, so I was hoping some one would figure this out for me. Here are the parameters.

The cartridge I am shooting is 6.5X284. The bullet is a Lapua Scenar. The weight is 108 grains. Sectional density: .221
Ballistic coefficient: .478 My Muzzle Velocity is approximately 3300 fps(not chronographed). I have the rifle zeroed at 200 yards. I was wondering if some one knows how to figure the ballistics of this load?

First I was wondering what the trajectory is with a 200 yard zero? Second I was wondering what my trajectory would be with a 300 and a 400 yard zero. Third I wonder how high I would be at 100 yards when I have a 300, 400, and 500 yard zero.

I am trying to determine what my scope settings should be at 100 yards so that I can dial in at 300, 400 and 500 yards. I realize there is no fast answer, and all settings will have to be shot at the bench. I am only trying to have some simple comparisons to begin with.

I have zero experience with computer ballistic charts, and I was hoping that someone has alot of experience with computer ballistics, and this would be a simple exercise for them? Thanks, Tom.

There is the program I use to figure out my trajectorys when working up new loads. Works well for me, and its very simple.

head, print out a chart with your load, then shoot it at say 100 and 300 and maybe 500 or so, then measure your drops compared to your chart, if your drops are more lower the bc until the chart matches your drops, if the are less raise the bc, when the chart matches your drops at all ranges you are good to go.

Ya want that thing to shine use a 139 gr scenar (BC of .615) or a 140 berger (BC .64) a high BC will outrun velocity every time.
