Could anyone direct me to a ballistics chart showing mv's, bullet weights, zeroing distance, drop, etc for a .32-40 172 grain cast bullet leaving the muzzle at 1150 fps and zeroed at 100 yards? I need to know how much drop to expect at 200 yards with this recipe. Thanks!

I use 13.5gr of 4227 and a 200gr bullet. The come up from 100 to 200 yds is 6 minutes. hope the helps. Best, Roger

If you're bullet's a flat nose, BC will be app. .220. At 1150 fps MV & zeroed at 100, 200 yard drop will be app. 30". Source: Mannes' TABLES OF BULLET PERFORMANCE.

With 100 yd zero, the one I use also shows about 30" drop at 200 yd.
