    Ballistics graphing software online or free?

    Im trying to match M118LR(7.62x51 .308 175g smk) data from a 20" barrel at 2675fps for my BDC in my new acog.

    Do any of you know of software that will allow me to graph the bullet drop curve of multiple loads with different colors?

    AFAIK, it won't graph, but you can certainly create your own graphs using the data obtained from it:

      Yeah if I knew how and if I didn't go to public school. I would rather find a software that does it then recreate the wheel. But thanks for the link.


      Found 1 but searching for a better one.

        You don't know how to take two data points and an axis, and create a graph?

        Plug the data into excel, it'll graph for you

          Try QUICK LOAD. (Click on link).

          Or click HERE to check out an article on Quick Load by the masters at 6mmBR.com.

          Or if that wasn't enough, click HERE to see an extensive list of good ballistic software.

            Nope!

            Do you know how to program a Cisco firewall?

              Ahhh yes, a comparison of basic 5th grade knowledge to advanced programming knowledge is totally valid... i cant truly believe you don't know how to draw a graph.

              But if you truly don't, then use a calc that gives you raw numbers(more useful anyways than a graph alone) then use excel like this:

                Try biggameinfo.com, select Balistics Calculator, then select Advanced Balistics Calculator. You will have to set up a username and password, but it is free to use.

                If I recall correctly, you can add multiple data sets to the graph in the advanced calculator.

                Have fun - and remember, if everyone could do graphs, there wouldn't be any need for all those graph programs on the internet.

                  Indeed, getting the numbers is much more difficult than graphing. I have sampled some of the ballistics software out there and none of the ones I have tried do a decent job of graphing custom loads for comparison.

                  So I use the fancy programs to generate the numbers then I just throw them into Excel... and I could probably program a cicsco firewall if I needed to.

                    So you do not know how and you try to make it my fault again. I see where your going with this.

                      Where I'm going? Originally I posed a question, and provided a solution. In one post...you took it as an attack, and got defensive. I'm not trying to put anyone at fault for anything.

                      You obviously don't want my input so it's a moot point.
