The chart below is computed using the Long Range Science ballistic calculator for some common 300 Win Mag factory loads. These are for comparison with preset environmental data. Select a load to see its drop and wind table.

300 Win Mag Drop Chart

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. Confirm your true velocity with a chronograph and validate on target before trusting any chart downrange.

Key Takeaways

• Supersonic to ~1,626 yards: With the Berger 215 gr Hybrid Target, it enters the transonic zone there in standard atmosphere; cold or high-altitude air pushes it farther.
• Holds 1,000+ ft·lb to ~1,233 yards: With the Berger 215 gr Hybrid Target, a common energy threshold for larger game.
• ~2.6 MIL / 8.8 MOA at 500 yards, ~7.6 MIL / 26.2 MOA at 1,000.
• ~1.6 MIL of wind at 1,000 yards in a 10 mph full-value crosswind. Wind is your dominant error source at distance.
• The 215 gr Berger Hybrid and 195 gr ELD Match drop about the same at 1,000 yards (7.61 and 7.68 MIL), but the 215 gr Berger Hybrid drifts less in wind (1.56 vs 1.88 MIL).
• The 178 gr ELD-X starts fastest at 2,960 fps but retains 1,515 fps at 1,000 yards, versus 1,671 fps for the 215 gr Berger Hybrid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 300 Win Mag drop at 1,000 yards?

With the Berger 215 gr Hybrid Target at 2,820 fps and a 100-yard zero, roughly 7.6 MIL (26.2 MOA), about 274 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 300 Win Mag supersonic at 1,000 yards?

With the Berger 215 gr Hybrid Target at 2,820 fps it retains about 1671 fps at 1,000 yards and stays supersonic to roughly 1,626 yards. Colder, higher-altitude air extends that range further; hot low-elevation air shortens it.

Which 300 Win Mag factory load shoots flattest?

The 215 gr Berger Hybrid and 195 gr ELD Match drop nearly the same at 1,000 yards (7.61 and 7.68 MIL), but the 215 gr Berger Hybrid has less wind drift (1.56 vs 1.88 MIL), which makes it the better long range choice. The 178 gr ELD-X is flatter at 300 yards (0.96 vs 1.05 MIL) because of its higher muzzle velocity, but gives that up at distance.

Should I use G1 or G7 BC for the 300 Win Mag?

Use G7 for modern boat-tail bullets like these when the manufacturer publishes it. The G7 standard projectile matches their shape, so the drag curve tracks reality better across the trajectory.

What zero does this 300 Win Mag 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.
