easiest way to get ballistics
 
Im looking to get some ballistics from my bullet, powder combinations. I have the bullet weight and the FPS at the muzzle. How can I figure out FPE down range and bullet drop? Thanks for any info. Is there an easy way to figure this out?

Point Blank Ballistics Calculator...you can download it here: http://www.huntingnut.com/index.php?...=article&sid=3

Check the bullet manufacturer's website to get appropriate ballistic coefficients to enter in the calculator. You may have to adjust the listed BC up or down to match your trajectory findings.

That means I have to go buy a PC. I don't think so! Hey, Maybe my wife wouldn't mind a little hunting stuff on her computer?!?!?! Thanks for the help.
