.28 Nosler Trajectory Calculator
The .28 Nosler is a high-performance 7mm magnum designed to wring maximum velocity from heavy, high-BC bullets. With a 163-grain bullet at 3,175 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 2.5 inches of drop at 200 yards, 5.4 inches at 250 yards, and 9.6 inches at 300 yards. The cartridge excels at western big game hunting where shots routinely stretch past 400 yards.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .28 Nosler performs best with 150 to 175 grain bullets optimized for long-range BC. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (.28 Nosler) is pre-selected for the first load.
