.44 mag ballistics data

[kflaig]

Anyone have data for an 8 3/8 barreled Taurus shooting 240 gr. factory ammo? I'm looking for data that will allow me to sight it in at some distance and then tell me how many inches high or low it will shoot at 100 thru 500 yards.

Don't flame me! I'm only going to be shooting rocks in southern Nevada.

There are two things we don't know:

1. The muzzle velocity from your gun for a particular load.

2. The B.C. (ballistic coefficient) of the particular bullets.

If you can find the BC for the bullets, I can compute a series of trajectories for likely muzzle velocities.

I'll try to get the muzzle velocity and bullet's ballistic coefficient from the manufacturer and post them.
