Old Black Hills Match Ammo
 
I have a case of Black Hills 175gr BTHP in .308 that I bought back in the heyday of this site. Could have been 15-20 years ago. There is no ballistic coefficient for the ammo on or inside the box, and I don’t see anything on the website either. Before contacting the company, I thought I would ask here whether anyone has suggestions for how I can figure this out! Thank you!

If memory serves - the bullet used in that loading was a Sierra Match King.
Guessing the powder is a different matter - that time frame it would have probably been something similar to 4064

Or I could be wrong

If you're looking to run tables or reload, the BC of that bullet is .505 (or .250 if your software uses a G7 table). That Black Hills was goood stuff.

It's possible I may have some info on those rounds (ballistic table). I'll dig around and see if I can find it.
