.270 Winchester Trajectory Calculator
The .270 Winchester shoots flat and hits hard, making it a favorite among western hunters. With a 140-grain bullet at 2,950 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.1 inches of drop at 200 yards, 11.6 inches at 300 yards, and 26.4 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge retains over 1,475 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and still carries 1,250 ft-lbs at 500 yards—plenty for mule deer and pronghorn at extended range.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient.
