anyone tried air rifles on ballistic charts like shooter or strelok?

I finally gave into temptation and dropped the $700 on an air arms tx 200 mkii in walnut. After doing a ton of research ive decided that with a child on the way and time on the range being limited I would be able to further hone my ability by getting a quality air gun. I have roughly 65-75 yards out my reloading window to shoot a pellet gun safely. (yes i live in the sticks so there is hundreds of acres of woods and a mountain after the creek at 75) Realizing that there will be plenty or drop and drift at these ranges I decided to plug as much info into shooter as i could find. I was able to find a gentleman who ran some tests on the pellets i plan on using and got an average bc to use. I plan on testing the data on my own to see how it stacks up but I figured i would check if anyone on here has tried this already with the slower 850 fps 10.34 grain stuff. Thanks, Nick.

I have printed out very helpful charts using the online JBM Ballistics calculator.
For the .22 cal, 14.3 gr pellet, I use a BC of 0.015 G7.
Enter you scope height above bore, range increments, wind speed, max and zero range.

I think you will like the easy results.
 
Every air rifle muzzle velocity will varry some what. Pellets have a very low BC when compared to powder powered rifles bullets. I have a Crony to get pellet MV and have down loaded a ballistics program . It may give you some idea the pellet tragetory but the only why you will know what you rifle is doing is to shoot at targets set at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards . For me it was a wast of time using the Crony and program for pellet gun rifles but I like them for reloaded centerfire rifle ammo. I shoot Beeman R-1 17 Cal, Beeman GS 1000 22 Cal, Benjiman 312, 342, 22 Cal, Sheridan Blue Streak 20 Cal, and Crosman Blue Streak 20 Cal air rifles. First find out what brand and weight pellet the air rifle likes by shooting off a rest .
