Ballistics illustration

Explore how inputs affect a simplified model. This illustration does not provide validated firing data.

Illustration · not firing data

Illustration — not validated shooting guidance

The model uses simplified drag and wind, not a full G1 or G7 calculation. Temperature, air pressure and altitude are not modelled. The nine presets are illustrations, not documented factory cartridges. Figures must not be used as shooting instructions or ammunition documentation. Barrel corrections are estimates.

Presets are illustrative, not documented factory cartridges. Use manufacturer data or your own measurements.

Indicative comparison with ammunition requirements

Barrel-corrected E100 2,726 Jbullet weight 9.72 g

Calculated limits: moose/red deer: ?

Documentation required

Estimated E100 cannot establish legal compliance. Confirm the cartridge, construction and documented E100 in Jaktklar.

Required: minimum calibre 6.5 (.264″ / 6.71 mm), expanding bullet, at least 9.0 g with a lead core or 7.8 g lead-free, and E100 ≥ 2,200 J.

Calculated limits: roe deer: ?

Documentation required

Estimated E100 cannot establish legal compliance. Confirm the cartridge, construction and documented E100 in Jaktklar.

Required: expanding bullet and E100 ≥ 980 J.

Check documentation in Jaktklar

Illustrated E100 does not document compliance with ammunition requirements. Velocity change per centimetre varies by load and firearm. Verify documented E100 and construction for the exact hunting cartridge. Measured muzzle velocity alone is not measured E100. Training ammunition is not permitted for big game. Use Jaktklar for the documentation check.

Legal basis: Regulations concerning hunting, killing and trapping, § 16 (Lovdata). ↗

Always verify at the range

These estimates are indicative only. Actual trajectory is affected by the firearm, ammunition, temperature, air pressure, altitude and other conditions. Always verify the results at an approved shooting range before hunting.
