6.5mm Grendel Trajectory Calculator

The 6.5mm Grendel brings genuine long-range capability to the AR-15 platform. With a 110-grain bullet at 2,756 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.9 inches of drop at 200 yards, 14.2 inches at 300 yards, and 32.2 inches at 400 yards. The high-BC 6.5mm bullets retain over 924 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and 763 ft-lbs at 500 yards—effective on deer-sized game to 400 yards with proper bullet selection.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Match shooters often run 123-130 grain bullets for better wind resistance. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
