7mm PRC Trajectory Calculator
The 7mm PRC is Hornady's newest long-range hunting cartridge, optimized for heavy, high-BC bullets. With a 175-grain bullet at 3,000 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 2.7 inches of drop at 200 yards, 10.2 inches at 300 yards, and 22.8 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge retains over 2,370 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and still carries 2,140 ft-lbs at 500 yards—more than enough for elk and moose at distances where most hunters have no business shooting.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Most 7mm PRC loads run 160-180 grain bullets with high BCs for maximum long-range performance. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (7mm PRC) is pre-selected for the first load.
