Reading these numbers

Only a G1 ballistic coefficient is published for this load, so BallisticApp solves it against the G1 drag table. G1 BC drifts with velocity — the figure below is valid near the muzzle and drops off as the bullet slows.

Muzzle energy of 7022 J (5179 ft·lb) is computed from the bullet weight and muzzle velocity above, not quoted from the catalogue. Sectional density 0.330 describes weight per unit of frontal area; divided by the ballistic coefficient it gives the form factor, which is how much drag the shape adds over the standard projectile.

Among the 11 loads of this bore diameter in the database, this one's G1 BC of 0.319 is higher than 2 of them.

These figures are the bullet's starting point. What you actually dial depends on your rifle's zero, the air you're shooting in and the wind on the day — BallisticApp solves that on the phone, offline, using the same G1/G7 tables and this database.
