Path is height relative to your line of sight (negative = below). Wind column is a full-value 10 mph crosswind. Your muzzle velocity will differ from the factory figure — chronograph your rifle, then re-run the numbers in the trajectory calculator or true the card in the truing guide.

Keep this load in the Kit

Save this load against your rifle, attach your own chronograph strings, true the velocity to your impacts, and print a card that matches your gun — not the factory's test barrel.

Read this before you rely on any number here. Predictions use the standard G1/G7 drag models and the data you enter — they are estimates, not measurements, and they are never load advice. Confirm with live fire at distance. For anything you load yourself, work only from current published manuals (Hodgdon, Sierra, Hornady, Lyman), start low, and work up. TruingLog publishes no load recipes and suggests no charge weights.
