Default Traditional Ballistics

Anyone know where I could get ballistics for a 1-48" twist 54. caliber traditional using roundballs, buffaloe ball-ets, or any other conical. Thanks.

The BC of a .54 caliber roundball is .061 and you should average around 1800 fps with a good solid load, so if you go to http://www.handloads.com/calc/index.html you can figure all that stuff out. It will tell you the drop and drift. Don't let the numbers shock you, roundballs are deadly.
