Long range airgun equivalent of centerfire distances

I saw somebody post a table recently of "equivalents" of AG ranges vs centerfire ranges with regards to drop, weights, etc. I cannot find it, not sure if it was on this forum or elsewhere. Basically something that was purporting to show say like a .25 AG at 50 yards is approximately equiv to say .223 at 200 based on drop, etc (I made up those numbers).
Does this ring anybody's bell?

A few years ago I had seen a post that had the cross reference for .308 at 1000 yards to a .22 air gun but have been unable to find that one either. It would be nice if someone that has the info that would cross reference with centerfire's and would post it here!!

There was this thread where 600 yards was matched up.

Nice post there Mike!
All I can find is drop comparison of a .22LR compared to the .308;
22lr 40gr. .075bc 1040fps / .308win 165grSST .447bc 2600fps
22lr drop .308
50yds 0 = 100yds
75yds 2.8 = 175yds
100yds 8.3 = 240yds
125yds 17.6 = 315yds
150yds 30.8 = 380yds
175yds 47.3 = 450yds
200yds 68.7 = 510yds
225yds 92.5 = 560yds
250yds 123.9 = 630yds
275yds 158.2 = 690yds
300yds 199.9 = 770yds
325yds 248.8 = 820yds
350yds 304.8 = 880yds
375yds 367.9 = 940yds
400yds 437.6 = 987yds
So does anyone have a conversion for either a .22 or .25 air rifle at 900 to 980 fps compared to a .22 LR doing 1040 fps??
