Re: TRAJECTORIES
MUCH WILL DEPEND ON WHICH 158gr AND 240gr BULLETS ABOUT WHICH YOU SEEK INFORMATION. SOME SHOOT LOTS FLATTER THAN OTHERS.
THERE ARE TABLES FOR SUCH IN THE BACK OF ALL LOADING MANUALS FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT BRANDS OF COMMERCIAL BULLETS.
LET ME NOTE HERE AND NOW THAT 158gr 35 CALIBER BULLETS AND 240gr 44 CALIBER BULLETS ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY REMOVED FROM THROWING ROCKS AND HAVE A TRAJECTORY PROVING IT DUE TO THEIR INNATE SHORTNESS FOR CALIBER.
AND LASTLY LET ME NOTE THAT I HAVE NEVER EVER TESTED ANY BULLETS OUT TO DISTANCE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SLIGHTLY FLATTER TRAJECTORY THAN THE BOOK TABLES SHOWED THEY WOULD.

FWIW, any shooter would be miles ahead to chart their own ballistic table(s), using their own particular rifle and ammo - shooting at various known distances after first achieving a good 100yd zero.
After all - YOU'RE the shooter that's going to be using THAT GUN, with THAT AMMO.

Re: TRAJECTORIES
I did this some time ago for the Remington loads, from their info. The .357 and .44 mag were the same. Here it is at muzzle and each 25 yards, with a 150 yard zero:
m=-1
25=1.44
50=3.14
75=4
100=3.84
125=2.55
150=0
175=-4.05
200=-9.75
225=-17.24
250=-26.69
m=-1
25=1.44
50=3.14
75=4
100=3.84
125=2.55
150=0
175=-4.05
200=-9.75
225=-17.24
250=-26.69

I use the calculator at Real Guns. They have a fairly extensive bullet data base. http://www.realguns.com/calc/exteriorba ... 0.358+4225 If you can find(punch in the diam. and the selection pops up) your bullet, and know the MV it will compute the rest.
