.30-06 Springfield Trajectory Calculator

The .30-06 Springfield has been America's most trusted hunting cartridge for over a century. With a 180-grain bullet at 2,700 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 4.8 inches of drop at 200 yards, 18.3 inches at 300 yards, and 43.4 inches at 400 yards. The heavy bullet retains over 860 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards, enough for deer and elk at typical hunting distances. Most hunters consider the .30-06 effective on North American game to 400 yards with proper shot placement.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .30-06's wide bullet selection—from 125-grain varmint loads to 220-grain heavy game bullets—means trajectories vary significantly. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
