Bullet Trajectory Height Question

Re: Bullet Trajectory Height Question

Yes. What you have to do is this: set up your load up in the ballistic program, with the appropriate parameters. Set the program up to give you drop in inches.

Then change the zero range to the distance you're shooting. Print the trajectory table out for intervals of, say, 50 yards out to that distance. Then look at the drop column for the intermediate distances out to that range, and find the highest one. That's the maximum ordinate.
