.308 Winchester Trajectory Calculator

Looking to master your .308 Winchester at extended ranges? We've mapped out the trajectory of a classic 147-grain load running at 2,780 fps, zeroed at 100 yards. This versatile caliber has been a favorite among hunters and precision shooters for decades, and our chart shows you exactly why - with hard-hitting accuracy that reaches well past 500 yards.

Since .308 loads can vary significantly - from match-grade target ammunition to heavy hunting loads - we've made this calculator fully customizable. Hit the "Modify Calculation" button below to dial in your exact load data. Whether you're shooting from an elevated position, dealing with tricky winds, or want to account for environmental factors like altitude and temperature, you can adjust everything to match your specific shooting situation.

Understanding your rifle's trajectory is crucial for ethical hunting and precise long-range shooting. This data gives you the confidence to make those shots count, whether you're reaching out to distant targets or setting up for that once-in-a-lifetime trophy buck.
