30gr Nagel 17cal bullet

[17remhunter]

Does anyone have any idea of what the BC of Chan Nagels 30gr 17cal bullet is. I asked him and he had no idea. Im guessing that it would be close to the 30gr Berger not sure what that BC is
I shoot the 25gr Berger and the 30gr Nagel both shoot to the same POI at 100 yards. The 30gr Nagel is not as accurate as the Berger but then .5 compared to .3 what the heck

I noticed that nobody has replied to your inquiry . From what I can figure it should be in the area of 0.230 or so .

That question was a tuff one because I asked Chan Nagel and he said " I have no idea"

Reeds ammunition has a 30gr Re batted boat-tail that they claim has a BC of .272 and their 32gr RBBT with a BC of .301

Shoot it to a couple different distances and do the calculations

How do you do that

Look up Winchester understanding B C and read that article . You can also watch some of Brian Litz's videos on applied ballistics

How do you do that

If you know your velocity just play with a ballistics calculator by adjusting the ballistics coefficient number until the calculator matches your actual trajectory
