Anyone have a ballistics program?
I was wondering if anyone had a ballistics program and could plug in some numbers for me. I put together a load yesterday for my VZ24 Mauser using 49 grains of IMR 4350 and a 175 grain Sierra Pro Hunter. I got velocities at 10 feet that averaged 2185 fps, so we'll call teh muzzle velocity 2200. The elevation is 5100 feet, the ballistic coefficient is .381, and the sectional density is .240. If anybody could plug those numbers in, that would be great!
I am interested in this because when I was at the range yesterday, I decided to try for a 55 gallon drum sitting on the far hill at about 550 yards. I know I came very close to it, and was just curious as to what velocity and energy that bullet has at that distance with that slow of a muzzle velocity. Thanks in advance!
