Help with drop chart please

[Obsessed]

I need to ask you guys a huge favor, could you please help me with a drop chart for the following:
300 Win Mag
168gr SMK .462BC?
3200 on Chrono
3965 Elevation
35 degrees
no wind
out to 750 yards
100 yard zero
Could I get your calculations in inches and clicks on a 6.5-20X50 leupold.
Help is sincerely appreciated!!
Thanks guys.

What program are you guys using? I am trying to get an idea on my bullet trajectory before I get to shoot. That way, I should be close.

Thanks,

CC

There are several programs that will help get you on target...

I use Perry systems and Horus Vision on Palm pilot for field use. I have both of the above plus the Sierra program on PC.

The Horus Vision has the most features (spin drift, temperature/velocity correction, etc.) but needs some tweaking to get actual results to match calculated results from my experiance.

The Perry system is the closest program I have used to match field results to calculated predictions. It also has a direct output to excel that really cuts down on the time to make table for the field.

The Sierra program is very good in that it allows several loads, bullets, velocities to be tracked and compared.

They ALL need to be proven in the field before live ammo goes towards live targets!

I use the Exbal program.. has always been dead on...
Only problem is you have to run each bullet seperately.... but this is the mot accurate program I have used

Rolltide all these are great programs. The one I use is from BARNES, and is in language we understand.

I tried the Eskimo progam. It seems to be pretty good. My load is:

.308
44.5 gns Varget
175 SMK MOLY
2640 FPS

Am I right that the drop is 153 clicks at 1000 with a 100 yard zero?

Thanks for the help,

CC

P.S. - OBSESSED, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Sorry.

I have never used a trajectory program. All my drop charts come from range work. The programs might save me time and bullets! What is the drag function. What should I use for the SST bullet in 270cal or the SMK. Thanks

 

[Thunder Hunter]

Harv: On the Barnes program we need to know and I assume the other programs are the same, The BC of the Bullet, Weight (grs) etc. to do the calculation.

 

[Guest]

On the eskimo program it askes for a drag function G1, G2 ect. Just wondering which one is needed for the SST or SMK bullet?

I dont have time right now to do clicks but if it helps,

bullet drop in inches divided by (.250*Range/100)

Eg. 500 yards/100=5. 5*.250= 1.25 -40" at 500 yards/1.25=32 clicks

Hope that helps

What a pain to post excel spreadsheets...
I am sending a spreadsheet attachment in an email to you with more data in an easier to read format.
