Thanks.

You bascially need to make your own chart, the old way is to shoot at different distances on the range and measure the amount of drop, this is ammuntion intensive. I still do it this way for a .22, but it can get expensive with a centrefire.

The other way is to use an app, this will give you some idea but you will still want to verify the numbers on the range.
Shooting through a chrony and getting a true velocity of your projectile will give the app a more accurate prediction than just putting in the numbers you read off the box of cartridges.

In saying that, if you let us know what breed and weight of bullet you are shooting, I can give you a rough chart right now.
