If you know the muzzle velocity and your altitude I can run you one. I do have one for my son's Apex shooting 130gr of Pyro pellets that would probably be close. Here it is with altitude set to 500 feet and set up for a 5" point blank range sight in.

Name: .45 Cal, Honady PSP, 250 grn
Ballistic Coeff: 0.210
Bullet Weight: 250
Velocity: 2100
Target Distance: 155
Scope Height: 1.500
Temperature: 40
Altitude: 500

300 yds  -30.16 in  1188 fps   783 fpe  0.579 sec   54.04 in  15.69 in   26.47 in

The extra 20gr of powder will maybe add 30 to 50 feet per second to it, not enough to make any big changes to the chart.

I hope this helps.

It's better to shoot for the sky and come a bit short than to shoot for the ground and hit every time. After all, the ground is just a place to start, the sky's the limit.
