    8mm Ballistic chart

    Does anyone have a link for an 7.92x57mm ballistic chart?

    Revolvers are not pistols

    pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel
    Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.

      Shoot, I should have been more specific; I meant for 8mm Yugo 196 grain surplus.

        I am pretty sure that Dr. Pepper wants something like this chart, but that corresponds to that 196gr Yugo load he just mentioned.

        This is just an example with Yugo x54R.

          You will probably have to play around with it, I am having a hard time finding a published BC of a ~200gr 8mm FMJ, but using there are a couple of hunting bullets with the right weight.

          Pretty sure the spec for the 198 gr 8mm Mauser load was 2500 FPS. That should get you in the ballpark.

          Make sure you put in an accurate "sight height" number, it makes a difference.
