Hey guys,
I am trying to correctly calculate the bullet trajectory flight path of 2 different calibers at 600 yds ,( 308 and 45-70 ) . I'm trying to calculate the maximum arc of the two bullets. So in theory if I enter all the ballistics and set my zero at 600 yds then read the maximum vertical inches at 300 yds that should be my maximum arc ?
I'm comparing 308 using 168 gr match bullet @ 2600 fps and a 540 Creedmoore gr cast bullet @ 1250 fps in 45-70 . According to my Strelok app the maximum vertical arc of the 308 is about 35" , and the max arc of the 45-70 is about 143" ? I just want to make sure i'm using correct math methods. I'm ultimately trying to calculate exactly where the 45-70 shots will be impacting our sand berm vs a standard 308 round.
