Below you’ll find several different ballistic charts from a few different ammunition manufacturers.
Most of the time these are steel cased ammunition, but brass cased ammo is becoming more popular as the cartridge is chambered in more platforms, like the AR.
All charts have a 100 yard zero unless otherwise noted.
