.270 Weatherby Magnum Trajectory Calculator

The .270 Weatherby Magnum delivers thunderous velocity and devastating long-range performance, launching a 150-grain bullet at an impressive 3,080 fps that creates one of the flattest trajectories available in a big game cartridge. This powerhouse represents Roy Weatherby's vision of maximum velocity taken to its logical conclusion, offering hunters the ability to reach out and touch game at distances that would challenge most other cartridges. The trajectory chart and table below demonstrate the bullet's flight path using a 100-yard zero, showcasing how the .270 Weatherby's exceptional speed creates an almost point-and-shoot trajectory that extends your effective range dramatically.

These standard calculations use a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.625 under ideal conditions, reflecting the excellent aerodynamic properties of modern .270 caliber hunting bullets. The .270 Weatherby Magnum really excels with high-BC bullets that maintain their velocity and energy over long distances. To customize these trajectory calculations for your specific rifle and ammunition combination, click "Modify Calculation" below where you can input your chronographed velocity, account for wind speed and direction, adjust for uphill or downhill shooting angles, and enter atmospheric data including altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity for maximum precision.

What sets the .270 Weatherby Magnum apart is its ability to deliver magnum performance with a trajectory so flat you can hold dead-on at remarkable distances. Whether you're hunting elk in the high country, taking long shots at mule deer across canyon country, or pursuing plains game where shots can stretch beyond 400 yards, this cartridge gives you a significant ballistic advantage. The combination of high velocity and excellent bullet BC means less holdover, less wind drift, and more margin for error at extended ranges. Having accurate trajectory data matched to your specific setup ensures you can exploit this cartridge's incredible long-range potential while maintaining the confidence needed for clean, ethical shots.
