A bullet’s flight path is also called its trajectory. Seasoned shooters measure the trajectory in inches of bullet drop or minutes of angle (MOA).
A flatter trajectory is better for long-range shooting as it requires fewer adjustments to compensate for bullet drop. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent example of a cartridge with a flat trajectory; the 44 Mag, on the other hand, is not.
Below you will find a sample 44 Mag bullet drop chart that gives you a general idea of the cartridge’s trajectory.
