bullet flight path charts

[hoz53]

i am looking for bullet flight path charts with dimensions. i have plenty of drop charts/info but i want to see the path of the bullet to1000 yards and how far above bore it is every 100 yards. a solver where i can input the parameters would be great. anybody help me with this?? thanks

Ballistic Buddy or Ballistic Trajectory Calculator has visual flight charts.

You could just run the numbers and input them into excel. A little more work though.

no i have those. i want to see the actual flight path of the bullet. the bullet starts out going up and comes to a high spot some where then starts going down until it hits target
(we hope). thanks for the try though.

though i dont know how to use excel i thought of doing that and plotting it on graph paper but the drop numbers are not the same as the height above bore. so if i knew how to calculate the height above bore at any distance thats all i would need and i wouldnt have even asked this question. its a little more complicated - at least to me- than it seems at first glance. thanks

If so, just set your zero distance at the max range you’re curios about instead of say 100 yards.

There was a time you opened any book about cartridges and there was a great chart….

i need to get some of those books- thanks

the red line looks interesting -i will look into it- when you think about it the drop the second 500 yards is much more than 1st 500 do i dont think the top of arc is at 500 but im certainly not sure— thanks

In this 1,000 yard case, apex is at 555 yards per the app, so 55.5% of the way to the target. When I do it for 1 mile shots, which is why it piqued my interest (I wanted to know how high bullet got above line of sight), the apexes are right at 1,000 yards, or 57% of the way to target. Remarkably similar.

Is this accurate? I have no way to test, nor reason to doubt. I will say the trajectories where the bullet passes 100 yards lined up with my come ups in MOA. (ie, 28 min from 100 yard zero to 1k with my 6.5x47). Same for the mile shots in these two.

i did this in shooter and it appears to be correct. i am also interested in this because i wondered about bullet height. the graphs on these phones have to compress x axis alot compared to y so the graph looks exagerated compared to wat it would actually be. the slopes would be much less. however i believe the drop/rise figures are correct. this is wat im looking for. i will try shooting some tall targets and see if i can verify at least some of these. thanks much for your help. i will let you know what i find out
