BC on Copperhead 103gr VLD.

Post by Quick »

G'day all,

I just bought a 6x47L and the current load it likes is 40gr 2209 behind 103gr Copperheads at 3100fps. Just wondering if anyone has a BC for these bullets?

Cheers all.

Hi Shaun
Just saw your post re BC of my 6mm 103 grain VLD's Copperhead Bullets.
The real world calculation done on this bullet is BC of .524 this was fired over chronographs set up out to 300 yards.
Hope this helps
