.308 and 155gr Bullets

[Hawk45]

So do the SMK's, AMax's, Nosler CC's or others 155gr offerings out there hold a candle to the Lapua's?

Lapua 155 gr G7 0.236 G1 0.462

Berger Fullbore 155.5 Gr G7 0.237 G1 0.464

Sierra #2156 155 Gr G7 .229 G1 0.447

I see at least one candle.....

Re: .308 and 155gr Bullets

Rough JBM estimate, all using Litz tested bullets:

155.5 fullbore @ 2900 - 8.9 mil elevation/2.5 mil wind (10mph)
155.5 cost - $40.04/100 (powdervalley)

155 Lapua Scenar @ 2900 - 9.0 mil elevation/2.5 mil wind (10mph)
155 cost - $36.52/100 (powdervalley)

155 SMK Palma @ 2900 - 9.2 mil elevation/2.6 mil wind (10mph)
155 cost - $30.32/100 (powdervalley)

Re: .308 and 155gr Bullets

I thought the 155 lapua scenars had a G1 of .508

Re: .308 and 155gr Bullets

Lapua now publishes it having a G7 of 0.230 and G1 of 0.460
so Litz's numbers are a bit better:
