    Is this your projectile? : http://www.winchester.com/Products/r...ges/X2431.aspx

    BC looks to be 0.255 (G1)

    I think thats the one, its hard to say with the fancy new packet, man .255 is very average

    Ill run the numbers with that and check to see if it fits

    cheers for the help

    Sounds about right to me, 80gr in .243 is pretty short. plus the winchester soft points are fairly basic cup'n'core style bullets.

    The Winchester packets I have now have 308 , 270 have Muzzle velocity, Trajectory (+ -) & Energy table on back of packet 100m -500m
    They could of put BC on there too you'd think .
