6.5mm Creedmoor Trajectory Calculator

The 6.5mm Creedmoor has become the go-to cartridge for long-range precision shooting and hunting. With a 120-grain bullet at 2,900 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.3 inches of drop at 200 yards, 12.4 inches at 300 yards, and 28.2 inches at 400 yards. The high-BC bullets retain over 1,150 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and still carry 962 ft-lbs at 500 yards—plenty for deer and even elk at moderate distances.

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 heavier 140-147 grain bullets for better wind resistance, while hunters may prefer lighter, faster-expanding options. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
