.30-30 Winchester Trajectory Calculator
The .30-30 Winchester has taken more whitetail deer than any other cartridge in American history. With a 150-grain bullet at 2,335 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 8.2 inches of drop at 200 yards and 31.5 inches at 300 yards. Energy drops below 783 ft-lbs at 200 yards and 510 ft-lbs at 300 yards—effective on deer inside 200 yards, but the rainbow trajectory limits practical range.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Modern lever-action bullets like Hornady FTX offer better ballistics than traditional flat-nose loads. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (.30-30 Winchester) is pre-selected for the first load.
