BC and SD of 308

Post by stu_bear2002 »

hi guys :) ,
could anyone tell me the ballistic coefficient and sectional density of the 155gr dyer projectile. i would to like to record them in my ballistic program for future reference in load development.
thanks and v bulls to all

Sorry Stu_bear the loss of formatting left the message a bit difficult to read. If you e-mail me with your e-mail address I will attach the original file.

You can try to find it on the NRANZ webpage but that is not working properly at the moment.

Cheers

gday peter and thank you for the info,
I visited the nranz site today and saved a copy of the file for future reference.

Peter Hulett gave particulars of the BJD and Sierra projectiles we use based on measurements made by K. Sellick.

The BJD was taken to have an ogive radius of 12 cals.

In a document prepared fot the NRAA, Dyer specifies 10 Cals for the current BJD projectile.

I have measured it at about 9.5 cals.

Of course some error is present in these measurements, and the projectile shape out of a die may differ slightly from the die itself, but I would suggest that the figure of 12 is definitely in error.

The SMK 155 is also mentioned as having an Ogive radius of 8. My measurements give about 7.7 which is in reasonable agreement.

I just had a look at the NRANZ website.

There is something else wrong.

They say the BJD projectile has a better coefficient of drag so has better retained velocity.

But if you look at the figures given for BC and wind effect one would assume the opposite.

I would NOT be taking these figures for granted at all.
