10mm Auto Trajectory Calculator
The 10mm Auto is a powerful semi-auto cartridge that bridges the gap between service pistols and magnum revolvers. With a 180-grain bullet at 1,230 fps and a 25-yard zero, expect about 1.1 inches of drop at 50 yards, 3.9 inches at 75 yards, and 8.5 inches at 100 yards. The round delivers 605 ft-lbs at the muzzle and retains 444 ft-lbs at 100 yards—enough energy for both defensive use and backcountry protection against large predators.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The 10mm spans mild FBI-spec loads to full-power hunting rounds, with trajectories varying significantly between them. You can also factor in wind and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (10mm Auto) is pre-selected for the first load.
