    Seeking 303 ballistic chart?

    Anybody know where I can see a ballistic/trajectory drop chart for 303? I did all the searches but came up a blank...a very little joke.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Trajectory depends primarily on the bullet and velocity. Specify those items and anyone with even rudimentary ballistic software can produce a table including drop figures. If you have a computer capable of running a simple DOS application, download O.H.Skevik's "PCB" package from http://telecom.hartford.edu/swiss/pcb18-en.zip and you can do the job yourself with minimal fuss.

    An even simpler option is to try an online calculator like the one at Hornady's website. For the MK VII military load, use a B.C. about .425 and a muzzle velocity around 2440 fps - the results will be reasonably close to actual performance.

    Mine's built into the No.32 scopes. I could count clicks at some point, if you like. I know its on to about 600yd w/ 180gr PSP Sierras, and 650ish w/ South African ball. Beyond that, no trials yet.
