I little more specifics about the load and I can run it through my ballistic calculator for you.

Give me the Bullet (make/model) so I can get the Ballistic Coefficent and the muzzle velocity (if you have it) If it's a factory load, over the counter what is on the box?

From that I can run you fairly close. Of course, only real life shooting fine tunes that drop chart since published BC's are typically too low and they tend to change as velocity changes. The longer the bullet is in the air, the lower the velocity and typically the higher the BC gets.
