.380 Auto Trajectory Calculator

The .380 Auto is a compact pistol cartridge designed for concealed carry and backup guns. With a 95-grain bullet at 980 fps and a 25-yard zero, expect about 2.0 inches of drop at 50 yards, 6.7 inches at 75 yards, and 14.2 inches at 100 yards. Muzzle energy runs around 203 ft-lbs, dropping to 147 ft-lbs at 100 yards. The .380 is best suited for self-defense at typical pistol distances under 15 yards.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Loads range from 85-grain to 102-grain, with JHP being common for carry and FMJ for practice. You can also factor in wind and atmospheric conditions.
