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 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

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
