Knowing velocity/energy down range?

[bearhunter]

Thanks every one, I won’t shoot at my chrony at 200m lol… I do t own a labradar!
I was hoping to find a link to a table that would give me the info!

Go to the Hornady website and there will be trajectory/energy tables for every bullet they make.

Better yet, buy a Hornady manual that has the tables.

They even have a "TWO BOOK" set, one for load data and the other for velocity/energy out to 500 yards. There is likely a digital copy available.

Thanks again! I will look for the Hornady book and the nosler #7 one too!

A quick glance at that link suggests it is very thorough - a notable point - the bullet path, for sure, is going to vary relative to your line of sight - depending on height of sights or scope - won't vary compared to centre line of the rifle's bore, though. How much "drop" you get at 300 yards with a 200 yard zero is very much dependant on how high your line of sight is, above the line of the bore ...

If you have weight, ballistic coefficient, and muzzle velocity you can calculate this very easily.

The output will show drop charts and energy/velocity at range.

I don't lend firearms anymore either.

I bought a couple just for that purpose, for family members etc. If something happens to them, meh. - dan

I use ShootersCalculator.com for Trajectory, Velocity, Energy & Max. Point Blank Range information.

Yeah, I should have been more explicit. I do the same, but won't lend my personal favorites to anyone.

Agree. Like you, I have other rifles that are hands off for most people. - dan

I was watching my grandson shooting at 600 yards. His electronic target (shown on his ipad) also showed the velocity of each shot. Velocities were about 100 fps less than what I had assumed, based on a ballistics table.

How accurate is a target like that? Do they advertise the accuracy +/- a certain percent or anything?

I spoke to the Canadian rep about that very point. I forget the number he quoted. It was something like 1/2". he can chime in here......

You need to confirm your rifles dope. Then you can adjust your speed in a ballistics chart to match the drop.
If you shoot mils, this is interesting.

You might want to watch this video as it helps you understand how downrange velocity and wind correlate to the BC of the projectile.

Thanks guys!
