Real world BC's of Barnes Bullets. . .anyone?

[STEEL SLINGER]

I am looking for "real world" BC's of a few Barnes bullets for a couple rifles that I will be sending the scope turrets to Leupold for the CDS turrets to be made. I know that most of the bullet manufacturers inflate their BC figures, so I though I would ask you all if anyone knows for sure what they may be. The bullets I am interested in are;

.30 cal 150gr. TTSX
.284 cal 145gr. LRX
.284 cal 168gr. LRX

I know Barnes are not considered long range bullets due to their low BC's, but the rifles in question shoot these very accurately and I would like to stick with them. Thank you.

I am not and never have been a Barnes fan.
That being said I would trust their data over some yahoo on the interwebs....me included.

The smart thing to do would be chrono the load and shoot at 600+ and then feed the drop into an App to calc the REAL BC for YOUR BARREL.

If Litz has done those bullets I would trust him but would still want to confirm by drops.

The 150 ttsx is a .198 G7, 145 LRX is a .238 G7 and I could not find a Litz number on the 168.

I have shot lot's of Barnes TSX, TTSX, and LRX in a lot of different calibers. From 350 yds to 950 yds using my drop chart.
Chronograph your load.
I run JBM ballistic program.
Go out and shoot your gun at different yardages.
Verify or make corrections to your drop chart.
Shoot your different yardages at least twice.
