.22 Hornet Trajectory Calculator
The .22 Hornet is a classic small-game and varmint cartridge dating back to the 1930s. With a 35-grain bullet at 3,000 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 6.1 inches of drop at 200 yards, 14.2 inches at 250 yards, and 27.7 inches at 300 yards. The moderate velocity and light recoil make it a practical choice for close-range pest control where noise is a concern.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .22 Hornet runs 34 to 46 grain bullets at velocities from 2,600 to 3,100 fps. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
