sigfreundSeeking online ballistics calculator that will draw a graph.
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?

El Cid 92I 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.

sigfreundWell, 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!

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.
