.308 Winchester Trajectory Calculator

The .308 Winchester is one of the most versatile rifle cartridges available, equally at home in hunting fields and on competition ranges. With a 147-grain bullet at 2,780 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.8 inches of drop at 200 yards, 14.1 inches at 300 yards, and 31.9 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge retains over 1,200 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and over 1,000 ft-lbs at 500 yards, making it effective on deer-sized game well beyond typical hunting distances.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Factory loads range from 125-grain varmint bullets to 180-grain hunting loads, so your trajectory will vary significantly based on what you shoot. You can also adjust for wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
