    Ballistics are indeed complex & dependant on many factors. In terms of practical testing with a chronograph outside it's just too cold, wet,& windy at the moment so the theoretical route seemed a possible alternative in the meantime, even if it might not provide an absolute answer.

    Yes, I know that feeling but learned the lesson "fit a shield if using down range"

    OP, chairgun will get you "ballpark" figures.

    Albeit a very small ballpark if you enter accurate data.
