boolit drop

[wgr]

I have a .45 cal muzzle loader 35 in barrel. im shooting a 450 grain boolit at 1250 fps. now if i have it zeroed right on at 100 yards what would the drop be at 450/500 yards. any help please

450yd=-255in 500yd=-332in approximately

it is a little hard to predict without a ballistic coefficient for the bullet. Almost forgot we don't know how high the sight is above the bore line.

Assuming a stable bullet with a BC of about .275 and sights about .75" above bore line, the drop would be about 250"-325 ". That basically agrees with LeadBrain
