You can make custom range cards and print them off from this web-site:

I cut them out and laminate them with clear mylar packing tape.

I use a little note book that has all my elevations marked in it with the date, bullet type, starting elevation and the elevation I had in the gun at the end of the match for every range.
Each bullet has it's own page with about 5 blank pages in between for each rifle. I also have confirmed elevation written in my score book for each rifle (usually within 1/4-1/2 minute of what is in the note book) I have seen guy tape their elevations right to the side of their rifles. I know another guy that has then printed very small and taped inside the rear flip-up lens cap.

Nothing beats a range notebook with the info, or a laminated copy on the stock. However, I really do depend on the rear flip-up lens cap info in quick hunting situations.

Im a big fan of these myself, They are called scope dope and are available from One Shot Tactical.

Just make sure whatever card you make up, it is weather resistant.

Jet printer ink is not waterproof - don't ask how I know

To get you started, Hornady.com has a Ballistics calculator under Ballistic Resources. You'll need the BC for the Scenars. Good luck. SD

I use a laser printer then the shoppers drugmart iron on laminator. works great and is rigid in my range book.

I have the Guns & Ammo Multi Calibre, 1000 yard Drop Chart.

That being said, all zeros are displayed assuming a 100 yard zero. The chart for that bullet weight of 155 grains and a BC of .560, closest velocity on this table, is 2800 fps;

100 yards, 0.0
200 1.7
300 4.0
400 6.7
500 9.8
600 13.1
700 16.8
800 20.9
900 25.5
1000 30.5

Note this is a drop chart, I left out the minus's, and by no means complete. You have to work out, your own come-ups.

If its for long range, you're going to want to take things like temperature, humidity and pressure into consideration. Like this: http://apollo.demigod.org/datacards.php

The alternative is to get an old palm pilot and download something like this: http://www.freewarepalm.com/calculator/pocketssf(sharpshooterfriend).shtml

It isn't bad, it gets me on the 2' gong at 1000 yards.
