Anybody have any bullet drop info based on weight/shape and muzzle velocity. Not sure how to find it here. Shooting a .490 lead ball. Thanks

Sometime a while back I downloaded a program that gave round ball ballistics that I will have to look for. I never did use it but figured I woudl find it with a quick look on the internet but nope!

I did find this though and it looks pretty good. It may help you out:

I believe in the lyman black powder manual there are trajectory charts also. You need to know velocity, bullet weight and type. gives 100 yd increments I believe

I studied the suggestions. I have a good idea what to look for after I do some chrono work. Thanks again!
