5.7x28mm Trajectory Calculator
The 5.7x28mm offers exceptional performance in both pistol and PDW platforms. This trajectory chart maps a 40-grain projectile at 1,655 fps with a 25-yard zero, optimized for defensive distances out to 100 yards. Ten-yard increments help you understand your holds at common pistol engagement distances.
