I know this ammo is no longer manufactured but I have a good stash of Federal Premium 200 grain TBBC for my 300-win mag. I wanted to order a custom turret for my Leupold scope that is on the rifle. I know one of the pieces of info they need is the BC of the bullet. This info is not on the box, and I have not been able to find it with an internet search and a call to Federal. Does anybody know the Ballistic Coefficient of a 200 grain .308 caliber bullet? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
According to the Swarovski Ballistic Program they are a .395 BC.
 
If it were me, I would get a “book value” of the BC, possibly .395 as stated above, then go to the range and true it and/or get the actual drops for various ranges for the custom turret.
 
The TBBC line was discontinued?
A lot of the TBBC bullets have become discontinued. Including the 200Gr TBBC for the .300 Win Mag.

Others are officially listed as still being manufactured, but have been listed as "Unavailable" on Federal's website for the past few years (such as the 500Gr TBBC for the .470 Nitro Express).
 
The bullet library in my Shooter Ballistics software has the Speer 30 cal 200 gr TBBC listed as .392.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
