Ballistics

Does anybody know of a calculator for round ball trajectories?

Got my Remington shooting point to aim at 25 metres, then missed a row of 8" steel disks at 15 metres!

Course it could have been me :redface:

But I just shot a four shot cloverleaf at 25, right in the 9-ring!

Suppose I have to put some paper out at 15, now!

My Euroarms '58 don't shoot so tight, but it hits most plates and poppers I point at!

Beartoothbullets.com has ballistic calculators for about anything you can think of. Trajectory calculator I'm not too sure of, but it's a good reference site anyway.
In the back of the Lyman muzzleloading book is a section on ballistics that does, I think, have trajectory tables figured in with loads, velocities, energy, etc. Check it out at[url] www.octobercountry.com[/url], I think they always stock it.

Zonie found a little program that will give you roundball ballistics out there on the net somewhere... I can't remember where to download it from, but I still have it. If you'd like it, you can download it from my anonymous FTP site at ftp://jac.dns2go.com . It's called RoundBall.exe.

Let me know if you have problems downloading it, and I will send it to you in an e-mail if you need.

Strange as it may be, about 9 posts down from this one is one about roundball wind drift and in it I gave this link to the Roundball Ballistics calculator.
Follow this link to that link and download the program.

Zip into my site and take the 2nd link from the bottom for Point Blank software. VERY good. :applause:
