I'm trying to figure this out, I'm looking for the max range for my cannon, it was explained to me that it could be figured out (not by me), I would like to know the drop of the ball.

1.68" diameter lead ball
800 F.P.S.

Well - you can't figure that out there...you must send me your canon HERE so that I can do it ..... :)

Here is a link to some great tutorials about drop compensation...

I tried the one, but the lowest I could go on the K/G was 1, and 1 lb is 0.45359237 K/G, but that was 6000 m at 45* elevation. And I don't think it calculated wind resistance?
