Rifle Ballistics Chart

Center fire Rifle Ballistics:

The below rifle cartridge ballistics table will give true caliber and diameter of rifle cartridge bullet weight measured in grains, bullet ballistic coefficient, bullet velocity measured in feet per second, bullet energy measured in foot pounds and bullet trajectory measured in inches for the more popular and new introduced centerfire rifle cartridges, (factory ammunition). This table gives a good reliable comparison of centerfire rifle cartridge ballistics.

The table can be scrolled to the left and right on smaller touch screens and is setup to be mobile friendly. You can use your arrows to go down, right, left, and back up again if on a computer after clicking the table with your mouse.

Many of the below cartridges have links leading to another page of ours on this website that delves much deeper into that caliber, sometimes done with different cartridges and bullet weights, changing the numbers slightly.

(Publisher’s note – When you’re ready to learn long range shooting, this book is the best resource you can get, besides range time.)
