.22-250 Remington Trajectory Calculator
The .22-250 Remington is one of the fastest varmint cartridges available, launching lightweight bullets at blistering velocities. With a 45-grain bullet at 3,950 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 1.7 inches of drop at 200 yards, 8.1 inches at 300 yards, and 21.5 inches at 400 yards. Energy drops below 507 ft-lbs at 300 yards and 328 ft-lbs at 400 yards—devastating on varmints but limiting effective range on larger predators.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Loads range from 35-grain explosive varmint bullets to 64-grain options for coyotes. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (.22-250 Remington) is pre-selected for the first load.
