How the calculations should be used
SC Ballistics is produced and maintained by Strike Coded Bootcamp. The app turns the values you enter into practical estimates; it does not replace manufacturer data, qualified instruction, or confirmation at the range.
Field validation
Treat trajectory and scope adjustments as a starting point. Confirm them progressively on a safe range before relying on them.
Units and safety
Unit conversions follow the International System of Units. Reloading and firearm safety data must come from the relevant manufacturers.

What is a ballistic calculator?
A tool that estimates quantities related to projectile motion from the inputs provided. SC Ballistics brings these features together in an Android and iOS app; only energy calculation is available online on this website.
How is ballistic energy calculated?
Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity: E = ½ × m × v². With mass in kilograms and velocity in metres per second, the result is in joules.
What are ballistic calculations?
They are estimates of quantities such as projectile energy and trajectory, based on measurements and models. Results depend on the inputs and each tool’s limitations; they do not guarantee performance.
How do I calculate joules?
In this website’s energy calculator, select your units and enter measured weight and velocity. Units are converted automatically and results appear in joules and ft-lbf, without installing the app.
Technical guide / Ballistic calculation
How does a ballistic calculator work?
A ballistic calculator estimates projectile trajectory from muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, sight height and zero range. In the SC Ballistics app, the drop tool turns those inputs into a bullet-drop and scope-correction table in MOA or MRAD.
Ballistics calculator inputs that matter
IN/01
Projectile and velocity
Enter the projectile’s G1 ballistic coefficient and, whenever possible, chronograph-measured muzzle velocity instead of the nominal value on the box. The coefficient can be estimated in the app’s BC calculator from two measured velocities.
IN/02
Sight and zero
Measure sight height from the bore axis to the optic center, confirm the true zero range, and select the turret unit. These values turn trajectory into useful scope clicks.
IN/03
Atmosphere and range
Temperature, pressure, altitude and wind change the trajectory, but the drop tool assumes a standard atmosphere and does not calculate wind drift. The further the day’s conditions and the distance move from that baseline, the larger the expected difference on target.
From ballistic model to drop table
The drop tool uses the G1 drag model with a standard atmosphere. For each distance it shows the drop and the matching value in your scope unit.
Why verify the calculation on target?
Every ballistics calculator produces an estimate from the inputs provided. Lot variation, actual velocity, optic mounting, and weather can shift the point of impact. Confirm zero and trajectory progressively in a safe, authorized environment before relying on the table under different conditions.

Use the app’s Scope Zeroing tool. Enter the target distance, how far the group is above or below and left or right of the aim point, the reticle unit (MOA or MRAD) and the click value. The app tells you how many clicks to turn and in which direction.
The Ballistic Drop Calculator uses muzzle velocity, a G1 ballistic coefficient, sight height and zero distance. It builds a table with drop, correction and clicks by distance. It assumes a standard atmosphere; temperature, altitude and wind are not inputs in this tool.
The Ballistic Coefficient Calculator uses muzzle velocity, a second measured velocity, the distance between the two readings, and temperature, pressure and humidity. The app estimates G1 and G7 values and warns when a result looks out of range.
Use the Ballistic Converters. 1 MOA ≈ 1.047 inches at 100 yards; 1 MRAD = 3.6 inches at 100 yards. The app converts between MOA, MRAD, and degrees.
The Grouping Analysis allows marking impacts on a target photo, calibrating the scale, and calculating group diameter in centimeters, MOA, and MRAD. The app classifies accuracy and suggests corrections.
The Energy Calculator takes projectile weight in grains and velocity in m/s or fps, with up to ten readings of each. It shows energy in joules and ft-lbs plus the power factor. A free online version is also available on the tool page.
The Reloading Cost Calculator allows recording costs of bullet, primer, powder, and case and calculates cost per round, helping compare loads and save money.
The Ballistic Converters convert velocity between m/s, fps, km/h, and mph. Enter a value and the app converts automatically.
The Free Recoil Energy Calculator uses firearm weight, bullet weight, velocity, and powder weight and returns recoil energy in Joules or ft·lbs.
Shoot a group, measure how far it landed above, below or beside the aim point, and enter those values in Scope Zeroing together with the distance and the turret click value. The app converts the offset into MOA or MRAD clicks.
The Ballistic Drop Calculator uses the G1 drag model and a standard atmosphere. The result is an estimate: confirm it on target before relying on the table.
In the Ballistic Drop Calculator, set the maximum distance, the table interval and the click unit. The app builds the table with drop, correction and clicks by distance and lets you save the calculation to history.
