Trajectory chart

I don't suppose anyone has a trajectory chart for .22 Rimfire ammunition do they?
I'm after a comparison of subs through to HV.
I have the one below but could do with a dedicated .22RF chart covering most if not all available ammunition.

What you're asking for is a highly specific chart.

Most if not all available ammunition - I'm not sure you could even find a list of all of the available ammunition to start with.

Add in that even when you buy batches of Eley Tenex - it comes stamped with the speed on the box - this is an average and each batch is different so going to have different trajectories.

Then you need to consider the barrel length you're going to shoot these out of which will also change the speed and with it trajectory.

Add in that the altitude and temperature also play their part, you see why I suggest this is highly specific...

TFI Friday...

See the attached file...

Caveat - the information used was off the internet and as such should be considered an estimate at best.

If you need help updating the graph to add additional ammunition listed, gimme a shout and I'll help out, but if you've used excel graphs before it shouldn't be beyond you.

HTH.

I need a lie down... haha.

Thanks tattooed gun, just what I wanted :good: Although it wasn't what I was expecting.
What I wanted to compare was the drop of subs compared to standard velocity. At 100 mtrs they are virtually the same.
I would have thought that subs would have dropped more or am I missing something? being thick etc :D
Is the drop on that chart in inches?

Yes. Inches.
Making a graph showing just up to 150-200 yards data would be better for your needs rather than the 500 yards I took it out to.
As the drop is sop big at 500 yards it loses definition at 100 yards.

Distances are in yards and inches as opposed to metres.

Even though Ste’s done a fantastic job there, have you ever seen this book? It’s updated every so often and lists just about every factory made ammunition there is. Includes factory figures and ballistics. Always a fascinating read.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
