Also, ballistics can vary from lot to lot with the same brand and type. When manufacturers' ballistic data were unavailable, they were calculated using a ballistic calculator.

338 Win Mag 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). We use inches of drop in this article.

A flatter trajectory is preferred for long-range hunting because it requires fewer adjustments to compensate for bullet drop in the field. The 338 Win Mag is loved by long-distance hunters for its flat trajectory. When zeroed in at 200 yards, a 225 grain bullet drops about -44" at 500 yards.

Here is a sample 338 Winchester Magnum bullet drop chart to give you a sense of the cartridge's trajectory.

Note: The preceding chart is an example of one 338 Win Mag load. Actual ballistic performance varies depending on bullet weight, lot, barrel length, and environmental conditions.

338 Win Mag Velocity

Muzzle velocity is the rate at which a bullet exits the barrel, measured in feet per second (fps). Typically, a longer barrel produces a higher muzzle velocity, as the extra length gives exploding propellant more time to exert its energy against the base of the projectile. The 338 Win Mag typically has a barrel length of 24"-26".
