Ballistics book
« on: December 28, 2009, 09:17:12 AM »
Is there a book that will show different calibers, bullet weights, velocities, and drop over distance?  If you know of one, where can I get ahold of it?

Some of the reloading manuals do.  The current Hornady manual dropped that data but the two volume set Hornady published prior to that had volume II devoted to drop tables.  I believe the Speer and Nosler manuals have drop tables.  I'd go to a store selling reloading components and look at the manuals they'll undoubtedly have for sale and see which one suits you.
