.300 PRC Trajectory Calculator
The .300 PRC is a purpose-built long-range cartridge adopted by US Special Operations for extreme-distance shooting. With a 225-grain bullet at 2,810 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.3 inches of drop at 200 yards, 11.8 inches at 300 yards, and 26.1 inches at 400 yards. The heavy, high-BC bullets retain over 2,774 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and 2,529 ft-lbs at 500 yards—devastating on elk and moose at distances most cartridges can't reach.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Most loads run 200-230 grain bullets optimized for extreme range. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (.300 PRC) is pre-selected for the first load.
