Seeking online ballistics calculator that will draw a graph. Login/Join

I’m looking for an online ballistics solver that will produce a printable trajectory graph in addition to the normal data table using my inputs. I don’t really want something that must be downloaded to my computer. As far as I can tell, the JBM site doesn't offer that.

Suggestions?

I recall seeing a graphing based solution with Winchester's program. But it was only for Winchester based factory loaded ammo. It is imperfect as it does not account for any variables.

Other option - take the data from JBM and drop it into an Excel Spreadsheet and let it generate a graph solution for you.

Just my thoughts.

Well, good grief! That was simple. I am not very familiar with Excel and didn’t know that capability existed, but all I did was click “Insert Chart” with the data column selected and it produced the trajectory chart automatically.

Thank you!

Google Pages will automatically create graphs as well.

The Applied Ballistics program that I use will convert its trajectory data to Excel, and then the graphing function produces exactly what I need for the class I’m teaching. A graph is a better illustration of a bullet’s trajectory for new shooters than just a data table.
Thanks again to El Cid 92 for pointing that out.
