.338 Lapua Magnum Trajectory Calculator

The .338 Lapua Magnum is a dedicated long-range cartridge used by military snipers and extreme-distance shooters worldwide. With a 250-grain bullet at 2,860 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.2 inches of drop at 200 yards, 11.6 inches at 300 yards, and 25.7 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge retains over 3,000 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards, over 2,700 ft-lbs at 500 yards, and still carries 1,520 ft-lbs at 1,000 yards—enough to be effective on large game 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. Loads range from 250-grain hunting bullets to 300-grain match projectiles. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions—all of which matter significantly at the ranges this cartridge can reach.
