well the BC of that bullet can be found easly enough so that part is covered but we need to know the velocity of the bullet to make a drop chart.
Are you shooting factory ammo?
reloads , what load?
How long is the barrel?

I would also like one for bhills 69 gr reman ammo in the same gun.Know the velocity?
It isn't always what is printed on the box. Get a hold of a chrono if you don't have one already. Without an average from your rifle, a drop chart generated by factory stated velocity is just a guess and can be way off.
