If you have the "actual" velocity of your load combination out of your rifle, most ballistic calculator will calculate the bullet drop at range Xs. As others noted, you can tweak them accordingly.Give velocity from bullet weight and drop?
Thanks
I'm guessing the OP doesn't have access to a chronograph and is curious if they can extrapolate their velocity simply by inputting projectile weight and known drops.If you have the "actual" velocity of your load combination out of your rifle, most ballistic calculator will calculate the bullet drop at range Xs.

Agreed! That's why I noted "actual" velocity because I did not want to assume anything.I'm guessing the OP doesn't have access to a chronograph and is curious if they can extrapolate their velocity simply by inputting projectile weight and known drops.
The OP can of course come close by guessing at velocity and then tweaking it until the drops on the chart line up to actual drops in the field. That said it will only get you close as the app can't account for SD and ES variations.
I'm gonna presume you don't have access to a chronograph or a LabRadar. Since those are the best means of determining bullet velocity.Give velocity from bullet weight and drop?
