7mm Remington Magnum Trajectory Calculator

See how 7mm Remington Magnum stacks up in our full caliber comparison chart — energy, drop and recoil for every rifle caliber side by side.

The 7mm Remington Magnum is a flat-shooting cartridge built for western hunting at extended range. With a 160-grain bullet at 2,940 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.3 inches of drop at 200 yards, 12.2 inches at 300 yards, and 28.0 inches at 400 yards. The cartridge delivers 3,072 ft-lbs at the muzzle and retains over 1,500 ft-lbs past 400 yards, making it effective on elk to 400+ yards and mule deer even further.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Factory loads range from 139-grain target bullets to 175-grain controlled expansion rounds. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.

Zeroing the 7mm Remington Magnum

Every table in this section uses the same reference load as the calculator above, 160gr G1 .392 at 2,940 fps, with a 1.5" sight height over the bore, at standard conditions (59°F, sea level, no wind for drop; 10 mph crosswind for drift). A hunting rifle with a scope in standard rings sits about 1.5" over the bore; the zero you choose sets how far you can hold on hair without thinking about the range. Change the bullet, velocity or sight height in the calculator above to solve your own load.

How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Key terms

Near zero
Where the bullet first climbs up through the line of sight. It starts below the sight, because the sight sits above the barrel.
Far zero
Where it falls back down through the line of sight. A "200-yard zero" is the far zero; the near zero comes with it.
Max ordinate
The highest the bullet gets above the line of sight, between the two crossings. This is what makes a zero shoot high in the middle.
Point blank range (MPBR)
The zero that keeps the whole arc inside a vital zone for the longest distance, so you can aim at the centre and hold dead-on.

7mm Remington Magnum with a 100-Yard Zero

Zeroed at 100 yards with a 1.5" sight height, the 160gr load first crosses the line of sight at 68 yards, peaks +0.1" at 84 yards, returns to zero at 100, and is -12.2" at 300 and -28.0" at 400 yards.

Maximum Point Blank Range for the 7mm Remington Magnum

Maximum point blank range (MPBR) is the zero that keeps the bullet inside a vital zone, never more than half its height above or below the line of sight (an 8" zone is ±4"), for as far as possible. Zero at the distance in the table and you can hold dead-on from the muzzle to the far edge of the window.

7mm Remington Magnum maximum point blank range by vital zone size
Vital zone Zero at Hold dead-on from To (MPBR) Max ordinate Near / far zero CSV
8" (whitetail, pronghorn) 271 yd 0 yd 318 yd +4.0" at 151 yd 24 / 271 yd Download
10" (elk, moose) 296 yd 0 yd 347 yd +5.0" at 164 yd 21 / 296 yd Download

MPBR assumes a centred hold, a level shot and no wind; it is a ceiling, not a licence to skip ranging. The far edge of the window is where the bullet has already fallen half the vital zone.
