Calhoon B.C.
« on: August 14, 2003, 06:52:49 PM »
hey fellas just wondering if anyone out there has a little info for me ? I'd like to find out what the ballistic co-efficient of the Calhoon 52gr RBT Dbl HP. is like alot of handloaders i luv the numbers  8) and to run programs to calculate point blank range, sighting solutions for long range gopher poppin etc. but i can't do all of that without the B.C. with the "bubble butted" RBT i understand that the B.C. isn't that great, so I'm assumeing that it's in the low .200's or high .100's i luv this bullet . so drop me a line if anyone's got anything to say. and i just started loading for a 338winmag so if ya'all got any tips I'd like to hear from you.

Try .200. I ran some numbers in my Oehler Ballistic Explorer and the poor BC's for little bullets really doesn't have a great impact on their down range performance. .2 will be close enough for what you need. That bullet will probably have multiple BC's depending on velocity. As it slows down, the BC drops from the effect of the HP. So it may start out at .25 at the muzzle and end up at .15 at 500m.
