The chart below is computed using the same G7 point-mass engine that powers the Long Range Science calculators, using the Hornady 134 gr ELD Match as a reference load for the 25 Creedmoor. Treat it as a starting point — always true it to your own rifle and chronograph.

Drop and wind are come-up corrections (dial/hold up). Wind is a 10 mph full-value crosswind via lag-time approximation. Values assume a 100 yd zero and standard atmosphere.
These numbers are a factory-load reference, not verified DOPE. Differences in your actual muzzle velocity, barrel length, and local air density shift the solution — especially past 600 yards, and even more once the bullet slows toward the transonic zone. Confirm your true velocity with a chronograph and validate on steel before trusting any chart downrange.
Key Takeaways
- Supersonic to ~1,481 yards — enters the transonic zone there in standard atmosphere; cold or high-altitude air pushes it farther.
- Holds 1,000+ ft·lb to ~766 yards — a common energy threshold for larger game, and one of the better-retaining loads in the Creedmoor family.
- ~2.7 MIL / 9.1 MOA at 500 yards, ~8.0 MIL / 27.7 MOA at 1,000.
- ~1.75 MIL of wind at 1,000 yards in a 10 mph full-value crosswind — noticeably less wind drift than 6.5 Creedmoor at the same range.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 25 Creedmoor drop at 1,000 yards?
With the Hornady 134 gr ELD Match at 2800 fps and a 100-yard zero, roughly 8.04 MIL (27.65 MOA), about 290 inches, under standard conditions. Your exact drop depends on your true muzzle velocity and air density, so true your data before relying on it at distance.
Is the 25 Creedmoor supersonic at 1,000 yards?
At 2800 fps it retains about 1578 fps at 1,000 yards and stays supersonic to roughly 1,481 yards. Colder, higher-altitude air extends that range further; hot low-elevation air shortens it.
Should I use G1 or G7 BC for the 25 Creedmoor?
Use G7 for this bullet’s boat-tail match profile — the G7 standard projectile matches its shape, so the drag curve tracks reality better across the trajectory. This chart uses a G7 BC of 0.325 (G1 0.645).
What zero does this 25 Creedmoor chart assume?
A 100-yard zero with 1.8 inches of sight height. A different zero shifts the whole table — enter your own zero in the Ballistics Calculator to regenerate it for your setup.
