.32 ACP Trajectory Calculator

The .32 ACP is a compact pistol cartridge designed for pocket pistols and backup guns. With a 60-grain bullet at 1,000 fps and a 15-yard zero, expect about 0.1 inches of drop at 25 yards, 0.7 inches at 35 yards, and 2.3 inches at 50 yards. The cartridge delivers 133 ft-lbs at the muzzle and retains 104 ft-lbs at 50 yards, suitable for close-range defensive use where concealment is the priority.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The .32 ACP runs 60 to 73 grain bullets. Defensive loads from Hornady and Buffalo Bore use lighter bullets at higher velocities. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
