Ballistics calculator
Drop, drift, retained velocity and energy, integrated by the same RK4 solver the entry pages use. Your numbers go in; nothing here is sourced, so nothing here carries a status badge.

These are your numbers, not ours: nothing here is sourced, so nothing carries a status badge. For figures that are, open a cartridge: its loads carry sourced velocities per barrel length, which is where a real muzzle velocity comes from.
What this assumes
- Standard atmosphere at sea level: 15 °C, 101,325 Pa. Real air density changes the answer, and altitude changes it a great deal.
- The ballistic coefficient is constant across the whole flight. Real coefficients vary with speed, most sharply through the transonic band.
- Spin drift, the Coriolis effect and aerodynamic jump are not modelled. Each needs an input this site does not record: twist-derived stability, latitude, and the crosswind history at the muzzle.
- The solver integrates in 20 mm steps and lands exactly on each requested range with one fractional step, so every reported point is a solution of the same equations rather than an interpolation between two of them.
- A requested range the projectile never reaches is absent from the table rather than filled with a projection.
