Range Report 165gr Federal Tactical Bonded - G7?

Re: 165gr Federal Tactical Bonded - G7?

JBM has the Speer 165 Trophy bonded bear claw in their ballistic software library. That's the same bullet used in the Federal 308 Win. tactical load.

I ran it out to 1000 yards and it does drop quite a bit more than the 168 OTM. I don't know how far you want to go out with it. The B.C. on that bullet is .342.
 
Re: 165gr Federal Tactical Bonded - G7?

Thanks. The Federal 0.342 figure is, I suspect, a number that the manufacturer has calculated from the bullet's shape, rather than an a 'measured' BC.

Just hoping someone might have an empirical G7 to hand

The fired data I have available is not as consistent as I would hope to enable effective modelling.
