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.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
