Hey guys,
is there anywhere a ballistic coefficient chart which shows datas from different / all manufacturers?

Some manufacturers show their BC, others don´t.

When searching a bullet for a new load, this really sucks.

Any info or idea appreciated.

Well if they don’t make that data available I’d probably shy away, you can always look at jbm ballistics or litz

Why not ask for info on your choices here, I'm sure someone has experience. Things are getting better, but historically using some mfr's numbers has been, well.

JBM Ballistics click that link and then put in your parameters and click calculate at the bottom. this will show you the BC for the various velocities. Always use the Bryan Litz BC if available his are the best. Also most of his books have lots of bullet BC's in the back appendix. Remember the seller's advertised BC may not be entirely accurate.

I've always used the Applied Ballistics calculator (http://appliedballisticsllc.com/ballistics/) but it hasn't been updated recently, that I'm aware of. For instance, it still lists the Hornady AMAX instead of the ELDM or ELDX, but if your projectile is on the list, it's G1 or G7 BC is accurate. From there, I will verify and true the BC myself and gather my own dope.
