Re: Bullet Drop Math
Do you already have your bullet drop in either MOA, MILS, or inches?
If not you can check out JBM Ballistics, and type in all you info(ie barrel length, twist, bullet bc, etc) and it will give you "soft dopes" that should be close enough to get you on paper.

Re: Bullet Drop Math
I use the exbal program. Of course, there is still some math involved even when feeding information into the computer program. I hated math, and it is ironic that one of my favorite passtimes (long range shooting) involves so much of it.
"The Complete 50 Caliber Sniper Course" book had a great deal of information about how to develop the paperwork/math for long range shooting. Although I had been doing long distance shooting for a long time, it was helpful to find out about how the various factors are figured into the computation.
Learning things like how much you add or subtract for every few degrees of temperature change in ammo and all the other factors was very helpful.

Re: Bullet Drop Math
I took my formula down. It worked a few months ago, but for some reason it isn't focusing on the same data it did then. Back to the drawing board for the exact formula for 2700fps or whatever velocity is used. I know it's a minor thing, but since I have moved upward into mathematics where I have never gone before, I am not sure where I went wrong. I'll have to ask one of the younger whiz kids
