Can some one tell me how to print a Ballistic card off the Point Blank system. I would like to print something I can keep on the gun that gives me drop in inches and MOA.[size=18][/size]

Set your ballistic chart for the range increment and print it....?

You could always do a screen capture of the required info, print it out and laminate it, but that may be too large for your purpose.
I used to just type and print the most pertinent information (adjusting the size of my type for a good fit) and then glue it to the inside of my rear flip-up scope covers. In my case, I would make 3 columns with minimal information - yardage, clicks to adjust from my selected zero distance and bullet movement with a 10-mph wind. If you don't want to adjust your scope for yardage, you could always make that column inches above or below you zero distance.
It could look something like these (only using spaces rather than the /...this post won't keep alignment for this demo) with the first column being yards, the second the number of clicks either up or down (1/8" clicks) or inches above or below zero and the third the wind-drift with a quartering 10 mph breeze.
Adjusting scope
100 /-13/ 1
200 /-12/ 3.7
250 / 0/ 6
300 /+22/ 9
350 /+54/ 12.5
400 /+99/ 17
Or, using actual bullet flight above or below zero
100 /+1.64/ 1
200 /+1.5/ 3.7
250 / 0 / 6
300 /-2.7/ 9
350 /-6.7/ 12.5
400 /-12.3/ 17
Whichever makes the best sense for your shooting. Just a thought - hope it helps.
