Default ballistic chart

i am looking for a link to a ballistic chart that will give me info on bullet drop on my 7 mag shooting federal premium 160 nosler partition bullets. i am limited on target range to 100 yds and would like to know what to expect at longer ranges when i am hunting.

http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rifle.aspx

Find your load on this site, then click "Get Details." The ballistics will be listed in different charts showing velocity, energy, wind drift, "regular" and "long range" drop charts. Your actual results will have some variation.

If all you can practice at is 100yds, you probably aren't going to be terribly successful trying to take advantage of the 400+ yd figures. I would sight 2-3" high at 100yds and call er good to 300yds on whatever it is you're chasing.

There is a ballistic calculator on the Hornady site. You'll need to know the BC of your bullet and the velocity.

you will never get acceptable long range accuracy by shooting 100 yards.
so what ya gonna do, write down the info then use that data to whing lead at game at farther ranges than you have ever shot before?
won't work and not a good practice.
