Your Round    168 gr.    0.617 B.C.
Range    Muzzle   100   200   300   400   500
Trajectory    -1.5   0   -2.4   -9.1   -20.4   -36.7
Come UP in MOA    0   0   1.2   2.9   4.9   7

Hopefully everything stayed in the right columns.

Thanks a bunch.

Forgot to add 1" high at 100.  I can't believe I forgot it.

if you have a droid phone you can download the free app called Strelok. it is what i use for my trajectory calculations. i am sure iphone has a similar free app as well but i dont have a iphone. just a thought. out to 500 it shouldnt be too difficult to do it by just shooting, provided you took enough ammo and have big enough target.

I was finally able to get a hold of the wife for the #s.

I plan on shooting a couple at 500 to verify
