B Need help finding the G1, G2, etc... drag coefficient functions

[iMakeMehThings]

I cannot seem to find them, and I am confused as to what they are. I am trying to simulate a bullet in flight and need to calculate air resistance. I'd like to be accurate to real life and use a lookup table but I can't seem to find a graph of the drag coefficients that has an accompanying calculator to calculate the exact numbers at each Mach speed.

What Google search terms have you been using? Can you post some links to pages that you have found that are at least close to what you are looking for?

Sure, here are things I've found:
https://appliedballisticsllc.com/wp.../Aerodynamic-Drag-Modeling-for-Ballistics.pdf
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics
http://dave2.freeshell.org/ammo/coeff8/coeff8.htm
https://kestrelmeters.com/pages/g1-g7-ballistic-coefficients-what-s-the-difference
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

Most have information or a graph but not a calculator or table.
I've also been using search terms like:
- g1
- g7
- bullet shapes
- drag coefficient
- drag curve
- table
- calculator

I did a Google search on hornady bullet air resistance and this was the first hit. Does it help?
