.22 ARC Trajectory Calculator

The .22 ARC is a modern AR-15 cartridge designed to push heavy .22 caliber bullets at long-range competition velocities. With a 75-grain bullet at 3,075 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 2.7 inches of drop at 200 yards, 5.9 inches at 250 yards, and 10.3 inches at 300 yards. The cartridge maintains supersonic flight past 1,000 yards with high-BC bullets.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .22 ARC performs best with 62 to 88 grain bullets optimized for BC. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
