Thread: Where to find factory 243 bullet BCs?

Im after the BC for the stack of factory bullets I have for my 243
its the 80gr winchester soft point one, use to be white box now its changed its box but the bullets seem the same

dose any one know where there is a record of the BC of these bullets? I have a chrony ready to put them over

cheers

Is this your projectile? : http://www.winchester.com/Products/r...ges/X2431.aspx

BC looks to be 0.255 (G1)

I think thats the one, its hard to say with the fancy new packet, man .255 is very average

Ill run the numbers with that and check to see if it fits

cheers for the help

Sounds about right to me, 80gr in .243 is pretty short. plus the winchester soft points are fairly basic cup'n'core style bullets.

Might be on JBM

Nope, JBM only has 55, 95 and 100 gr options for Winchester

That's what you get for using JBM

They will be written on a brick in crayon somewhere most likely. ; )

The Winchester packets I have now have 308 , 270 have Muzzle velocity, Trajectory (+ -) & Energy table on back of packet 100m -500m
They could of put BC on there too you'd think .

Checked on the Nikon Spot-On app, the BC is .255
