there are 3 different tools that i use a lot.
1. midway USA. I like their website because they list ballistic coefficients and muzzle velocity for most of their products. go on there and find two bullet options you would consider for such a hunt.

2. hornady ballistics calculator. it's free, just google it and it pops right up. enter ballistic coefficient, muzzle velocity, zero range, sight height and how far apart you want your increments calculated. this will give you a
complete breakdown of wind drift, bullet drop, velocity and energy in FTLBs.

3. if midway does not list a ballistic coefficient or velocity some ammo companies publish their data like ATK.
