Ballistic Coefficient Question

Does anyone know, or know where to fine the BC of the Federal Fusion bullets, particularly the .243 95gn? Need this for my ballistics software...

ME TOO. .379 Should be close. It will be in that .370-.379 range

James B,

I wrote Federal and asked for the BC on the 243 95gn Fusion Bullet, and they replied with approxitmatly (.408).

RE: Ballistic Coefficient Question

Even if the bullet manufacturer supplies the BC, and you have a chronograph to measure the exact velocity,The trajectory with your rifle can easliy vary by several inches at longer ranges.The only way to know the true trajectory is to actually shoot the load in your rifle,at all distances that you might be shooting at game.
