Thread: .224 Projectiles ID Availability BC

Greetings,
Once the projectiles are tipped out of their boxes a lot of information is lost. The best thing you can do is sort by weight and appearance. I can see in photo 4 that some projectiles are clearly longer and likely heavier than others. I was recently sorting some .303 and .30 calibre projectiles. This box was .30 calibre 150 grain. I tip them out into a tray and line them up so I can easily compare them. Together there were around 40 that looked exactly the same plus two that didn't. One had no cannelure and was likely a Speer. The last had the cannelure in a slightly different position. Measurement showed that this one was .303 calibre. You can't be too careful.
As far as BC goes most 45 grain o.17 is likely an average.
Super was an Aussie brand of projectiles many years ago. I have loaded them in .22 calibre, 50 and 55 grain and they shot quite well but the weights varied from that posted on the box. Bluntish projectiles by modern standards.
