7.62x39mm Trajectory Calculator

The 7.62x39mm is the standard cartridge for AK-pattern rifles and SKS carbines. With a 123-grain bullet at 2,365 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 6.8 inches of drop at 200 yards, 24.6 inches at 300 yards, and 57.4 inches at 400 yards. Muzzle energy runs around 1,528 ft-lbs, dropping to 637 ft-lbs at 300 yards. This makes the 7.62x39 effective for deer-sized game inside 200 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 122-grain military ball to 154-grain soft points for hunting. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
