Thread: Targex projectile BC’s

Has anyone validated the ballistic coefficient of any Targex projectiles to verify what Bryn has shared?

Am mainly interested in the 6mm 95gr and 105gr RBT projectiles.

Also interested… where did you find the BCs in the first place? I’m running the 95s and just used the Berger info

I use the 165's in .308, they go where they are supposed to using Bryn's numbers, I also use the 95 in .243, they go where they are supposed to using Bryn's numbers, I'm guessing Bryn's numbers work.

I found them on here. 0.450 for the 95’s and 0.500 for the 105’s if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I used that .450 with the 95 and it validated out to 500 @ 3k muzzle velocity on gongs.

Ive got some 105 left if you want them.

Great to know, thanks for that!

Yes absolutely, that would be great thanks. I’ll drop you a PM.

I’m running his 69g in .223 can someone please give me a link to his BC fit this.
Cheers.

From Mr Targex (Bryn):

BC's are 52gr .220 & 69gr .370.

Ive been using the 105gr flat base in my 6creed to form some cases and as practice, just threw a load together without a development. Shot about an inch, better if i did my part, verified velocity with magnetospeed and tested at varying distances, the .480 advised BC was spot on, and i was super impressed with the overall performance of the projectiles. Huge hollow points on these ones are also explosive on small game

Thanks for the feedback Nick. I was very impressed how the 95’s performed on paper when knocking up a fireform load also. Found a couple of velocity nodes, and just used the lower one. Seemed quite insensitive to seating depth also, I just started with 25 thou jump and have left it there. But haven’t had a chance to use them at distance yet.

Nice shooting @gqhoon! What are you shooting these groups with? Charge weight would indicate a mid-sized case - 6*47? 6XC?

Tikka T3 that KiwGreg rebarelled for me in 6Creedmoor. Still fireforming brass with it though and expecting the barrel to speed up yet, so just wanted a mild load to muck around with.

Fireform? Cant you just run 6.5 CM through a die?

I'm running 6CM brass, but I'm expecting the barrel to speed up in the first 200 rounds. So just wanting a modest load to uniform my brass, get some rounds down the tube and do some practice before I do load development for my match projectiles.

This chamber is a pretty good match for Lapua brass through, only 0.003 difference between the two. But I've seen improved SD/ES after I've fired the brass once, then resized and done load development from there.

69 grn Targex

I have just been to sight in my new to me Howa mini .223 ex Dreamers one loaded with 69 Targex projectiles man they shoot well.
