Default One more question (this time on BC's)

One more question, does anyone know the real world BC for the .40 cal 185 Lehigh? I am getting ready to do some long range shooting next month and I want to do my homework first. I have 100 of the 185 Lehighs and about 120 of the 200 grain SST's to shoot up (although there's no way I'm shooting all of them in 2 days).

Hornady lists the 200 SST as having a BC of .235 if I recall, although several people have posted here that the real-world BC is more like .215.

I would imagine the 185 Lehigh would have a lower BC than the SST, but I do not have any idea of how much lower. Ideas anyone? Figure the muzzle velocity to be about 2,000 fps....
