Cartridge vs cartridge
Two loads, side by side - drop, velocity, energy and wind drift at every range from the same zero. See which shoots flatter and which still hits hard downrange. For a full card from one load, use the DOPE Card Builder.
| Yds | Drop (in) | Velocity (fps) | Energy (ft·lb) | Wind (in) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

⚠️ These are calculated numbers at standard sea-level atmosphere, not your rifle's truth. Advertised velocities and nominal ballistic coefficients vary from what your barrel and load actually do, and altitude and temperature shift everything. Use this to compare loads on paper, then confirm the winner at the range. Energy under about 1,000 ft·lb is shown in red as a rough floor for deer-sized game - always match the load to your quarry and hunt within a range where you can place every shot. See the cartridge & energy guide.
