Online Ballistics Calculator
Calculate accurate bullet trajectory, drop, and wind drift for hunting and long-range shooting. Generate printable ballistics charts with MOA/MIL adjustments for 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 300+ cartridges. Perfect for hunting, competitive shooting, and long-range applications.
How to Use Our Ballistics Calculator
- Enter ammunition details, such as bullet weight (e.g., 175 gr for rifles, 115 gr for 9mm pistols) and muzzle velocity (e.g., 2600 fps).
- Input firearm setup factors, like sight height (e.g., 1.5 inches) and zero distance (e.g., 100 yards).
- Add environmental factors, including wind speed (e.g., 10 mph) and temperature (e.g., 70°F).
- Click calculate to create a printable ballistics chart for firearms, showing drop, velocity, and windage.
- Print your table for use at the range or in the field.
A Note on Accuracy
While this calculator offers accurate estimations, real-world testing is essential. I strive to provide the best possible calculations, but please remember that many factors can affect bullet trajectory. Being able to collect accurate velocity and atmospheric data is highly recommended for accurate results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What data do I need to calculate accurate ballistics?
You'll need your bullet's ballistic coefficient (BC), muzzle velocity, bullet weight, sight height, and zero distance. Environmental factors like temperature, altitude, and wind speed will improve accuracy. Most ammunition manufacturers provide BC values on their websites or packaging.
How accurate are online ballistics calculators?
Modern ballistics calculators like ours provide highly accurate trajectory predictions when supplied with correct ballistic coefficients and environmental data. Always verify calculations with real-world testing.
Can I generate printable ballistics charts?
Yes! Our calculator generates printable ballistics tables perfect for creating dope cards and range cards for field use. Simply calculate your trajectory and use the print function.
Does this calculator support MOA and MIL adjustments?
Absolutely. Our ballistics calculator provides both MOA and MIL adjustment calculations, making it perfect for precision shooters using different scope systems.
