Administrative Note: The information above is provided by ammo manufacturers. Actual ballistics obtained with your firearm can vary considerably from advertised ballistics. Also, ballistics can vary from lot to lot with the same brand and type. When the manufacturer’s ballistic data was unavailable, ballistics were calculated using a ballistics calculator.
270 WSM Trajectory Chart
A bullet’s trajectory is its flight path. Shooters measure trajectory in inches of bullet drop, milliradians (MIL), or minute of angle (MOA).
A flatter trajectory is preferred for long-range shooting because shooters need fewer adjustments to compensate for bullet drop. The 270 WSM is a good choice for long-distance hunting, as it has a reasonably flat trajectory. When zeroed in at 200 yards, a 140 grain bullet will only drop ~34″ by the 500-yard mark.
Here is a sample 270 WSM bullet drop chart to give you a general idea of the 270 Winchester Short Magnum’s trajectory.
Note: The above chart is an example of one 270 WSM load. Actual ballistic performance varies depending on bullet weight, lot, barrel length, and environmental conditions.
