muzzleloader ballistics

[ShootALot523]

My muzzleloader is sighted in 1 1/2 high at 100 yds. I'm shooting 250 grain TC shockwaves and 130 grain of Tripple 7 pellets. Anyone shoot something similar or have any idea how much this will drop at 150 and 200 yds?

Should put this in the Black Powder forum.

If you know the ballistic coefficient of the bullet and the muzzle velocity of a shot string over a chronograph, you can do the math. Now, trust me, the long hand math would take all day, but there are ballistics programs out there that do it all for you and give you nice little charts and such.

The BC can be calculated from firing enough bullets, but the manufacturer will usually supply a number that's pretty close for 72 degrees F at sea level.
