Downrange Velocity Calculator
A pellet sheds speed the moment it leaves the muzzle, and how quickly it slows depends on its ballistic coefficient. Give it a muzzle velocity, a ballistic coefficient, and a distance, and this estimates the velocity and energy still left downrange, which is what matters for realistic hunting range and clean hits.
