Well . my project rifle is done. I sighted in a 25 yards and shot 5 cm grouping, consistently, about a inch high above the bullseye.

I am reloading the cartridges: 185 bullets, 50 grains of H380.

Is there anyway I can calculate the rise and fall of my projectiles flight path, at say 100 yards, 150, and 200 yards?:Fire:

Ivan,
If you know the BC of the 185gr bullet and have a cronograph, you can go here to help determine trajectory.

If you don't have access to a cronograph, then shoot a group @ 100yds and another @ 200yds. Measure the average difference in bullet drop and use the link to get a ballpark figure of the velocity your load is producing.
