Why do some companies show performance measurables?

Further, why do some companies show them for some loads and not others? Drives me nuts when trying to sight in a firearm - most often a slug gun.

 

Case in point Remington - I can't find any info on their Accutips yet the Copper Solids have more info on the box as to zero/drop, fps, energy, etc.

 

Obviously the answer is to try to shoot it at the those ranges, but the problem is the cost savings of having that info is huge when you start shooting at those ranges.

A simple chrony can fix that, yes?

You'd need the co-efficient and other inputs to determine drop and point of aim.

You'd need the co-efficient and other inputs to determine drop and point of aim.

The first shot with the chrony close would determine muzzle velocity, then know how fast, or slow, and a rough estimate from the first shot, you can place the same chrony at 50 yards and take another reading. You'll have everything you need at that point to calculate BC, speed, energy, etc.

It's a little annoying to do on your own, but its doable.

they list it in their catalog, and can see it at their website.

I don't see it anywhere on their site. No info on drop from I can tell.
