How far will a 150 grain bullet shoot from a 308 without dropping?

A 150 grain bullet shot from a 308 will start dropping the fraction of a second it leaves the barrel.


What grain bullet can be used in savage 308 rifle?

The Savage .308 rifle can typically accommodate a range of bullet grains. It is important to check the specific firearm's manual or consult with a knowledgeable gunsmith to determine the optimal bullet weight for your rifle based on factors such as barrel twist rate and intended use. Generally, bullet weights between 150 and 180 grains are commonly used in a .308 rifle.


How far can a 308 caliber bullet travel?

About 3,400 yards.

What grain bullet does the military use in 308?

The US military uses the 7.62 NATO, and not the civilian .308 Winchester cartridge. There are two common bullet weights- 150 grain, and the 174 gr M118 cartridge, used for long range.


What are the ballistics of a 308 cal 150 grain round zeroed-in at 50 yards?

A .308 caliber 150 grain round zeroed-in at 50 yards will have a slightly high point of impact at 50 yards due to the bullet's trajectory arc. It will then drop below the line of sight around 100-150 yards before rising again, depending on the specific load and barrel length. At longer distances, the bullet will start to lose velocity and energy, affecting its terminal ballistics.


What is the best distance to zero your 308 rifle scope if iam using a 150 grain bullet?

100 meters.


Which is larger 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag?

7mm shoots a .284" dia. bullet. 300 win mag shoots a .308" dia bullet. The ballistics are similar, depending on the range. The 7mm bullets have higher ballistic coefficient than .308 caliber bullets of similar weight. Example: a 7mm 175 grain sierra spitzer boat tail (spbt) has a ballistic coefficient of 654 a .308 caliber 180 grain spitzer boat tail has a ballistic coefficient of 535. What that means is the 7mm bullet will lose less energy and velocity as it move down range toward the target. This is most important at longer ranges. Example: a 7mm 175 grain spbt fired from a 7mm rem mag leaves the barrel at 2900 feet per second and has 3267 foot pounds of energy. At 400 yards it has a velocity of 2354 feet per second and 2153 foot pounds of energy. a .308 cal 180 grain spbt fired from a 300 win mag leaves the barrel at 3000 feet per second and has 3597 foot pound of energy. At 400 yards it has a velocity of 2326 feet per second and 2162 foot pounds of energy. Nearly a dead heat, certainly not a significant difference in bullet performance. AT 600 yards things begin to change: 7mm rem mag, 2105 feet per second and 1721 foot pounds of energy. 300 win mag 2047 feet per second and 1642 foot pounds of energy. The ballistic advantage of the 7mm bullet continues to make gains on the .308 cal bullet out past 1000 yds. Not much difference, but an advantage for the 7mm bullets, because of the greater ballistic coefficient. One could shoot a heavier .30 caliber that had a higher ballistic coefficient, but as the weight of the bullet goes up so does the recoil. The recoil of the 300 win mag firing a 180 grain bullet is already noticeably more than the 7mm rem mag firing a 175 grain bullet.


What is the affective range of a 308 bullet?

The effective range of a .308 bullet depends on the specific load, rifle, and shooter skill, but generally ranges from 800 to 1000 yards for accurate shooting on a human-sized target. Beyond this distance, the bullet's energy and accuracy decrease significantly.


What is the 308 norma trajectory?

You have not given enough information to answer your question. I need to know the bullet weight and the zero distance. .............. For a 150 gr projectile with scope mounted at 1.5 in above the bore .. should be about 1.5" high at 100 yd, zero at 200 yd and 8 in low at 300 yd Norma factory loaded ammunition. A 180 grain Oryx bullet is the only factory load available at this time. The drop at 100 yards is 0 inches. The drop at 150 yards is 1 1/2 inches. The drop at 200 yards is 4 1/2 inches and the drop at 400 yards is 16 inches according to the factory.
