[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ballistic chart comparing multiple calibers?

Posted: 9/6/2010 6:22:23 PM EDT

I'm cross posting this from GD.

There is a graph on arfcom that compares bullet drop and velocity of various calibers (.223, 6.8 SPC, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51 were all included IIRC) which I'm pretty sure is somewhere in the ammo forum. I've seen this graph before here, but I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Can you post a link for me please?

Such a chart would be bullet type and barrel length dependant.

Do you have any specifics in mind?

I just remember it was a simple line chart of multiple calibers (like I mentioned before) with each caliber represented by different colors.

I was going to say 'just make your own up' as wihtout a point I can find loads/barrel combinations that can show whatever you want.

Are you interested in comparing performance of FMJs? If so with what barrel lengths? Or do you want the standard US military loads from the standard weapons? M14, M16A1, M16A2, M4?
