Range Report Trajectory tables for smaller increments

Just a query, I've seen a lot of tables showing drop in 100 yd increments... Heck,, can find a table for GMM 168gr with hold over/under at zero's from 100 to wherever,,, but all seem to be in 100 yard increments. Anyone have any resources for tables showing drop at 50,, or even 25 yd increments?
 
Re: Trajectory tables for smaller increments

You can use the JBM Ballistic calculator here:

http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj_simp-5.1.cgi

It will allow you to set minimum and maximum ranges, as well as the specific range increment in between those that you want. I usually use 100 yd, but on occasion have set to 5 or 10 yd increments within a 100 yd range, say from 800-900 yd, to compare to drop values I determined for a steel target at a specific distance such as 880 yd.

beter yet, use this one..

this will tell you the distance per "click" on your scope...
 
Re: Trajectory tables for smaller increments

I use 50yd incements for longer range trajectories.

The drop increments are small at the shorter distances, but the drops get bigger in the 'out yonder' and can generate a complete miss when your range estimate is off by a single larger increment.
