I've been searching for external balistic charts and trajectory graphs for various .38 and .357 rounds fired from 6 inch revolvers. Something similar to info found on the Remington Shoot software. Anyone know of something like this on-line?

I have no chart info, just a very small amount of personal experience: with my 1894 .357 Marlin sighted in at 50 yards with .357's, .38 Specials will fall WAY short of the target, by an amount that surprises me. Sorry that is not very definitive. All rounds 158 grain.

You need to chrono YOUR gun to get the actual velocity.
Then plug into the ballistic calculator.
