.44 Magnum Trajectory Calculator

The .44 Magnum is a powerful revolver cartridge used for hunting and bear defense. With a 180-grain bullet at 1,750 fps and a 25-yard zero, expect about 0.3 inches of drop at 50 yards, 1.5 inches at 75 yards, and 3.6 inches at 100 yards. Muzzle energy runs around 1,224 ft-lbs, retaining 790 ft-lbs at 100 yards. This makes the .44 Magnum effective on deer-sized game to 100 yards and adequate for backup against dangerous game.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Loads range from 180-grain JHP to 300-grain hard cast for deep penetration. You can also factor in wind and atmospheric conditions.
