Depends what you want to know. In my case I was interested in: what is the POI at 100 yards for a rifle sighted in at, say 300 yards. You will need to know the BC of the bullet you are using.
Try the Benchrest and Target shooting forum on this site. MFD has some excellent advice, verified by myself!

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

It has a pretty good selection of bullets to choose from.
