I don't suppose anyone has a ballistics chart for drop on the above ammo? Preferably up to 800 metres?

being nato stuff i'd say it would be very close to RG ball ?

ballistic for I phone lists military fmj stuff

I'll have a look

This is the steel jacketed stuff isn't it ? It clocks out of my P-H M82 at around 2850 fps .I say around because it's quite variable and it shows ! I bought a stack of it and ended up de-bulleting it and checking the weights of bullet / powder .The powder is a spherical type , looks like h380 and was quite variable + /- 1 grain ! bullets varied by 2 grains across 100 pulled .Ditched the bullets and reloaded 155gr smk and took the average of the batch re powder . Very accurate now and I bin the brass.

My Steyr SSG 06 loves it at 100-300m but i was after a chart for further out. I tried that app but can't make head nor tail out of it! The bullet drop table never deviates more than 2" below zero from 0 to 1000m?! And that was for 308Win as i couldn't find 7.62x51mm in the drop down menus, and this stuff is pokey-er than normal copper jacketed milsurp and (feels) WAY more powerful than 308

Always thought it was a nickel wash on a copper jacket, didn't think it was steel Might not put quite so many through my gun tomorrow then

in the drop down menu there is loads of 147g fmj and there is also a government M80 load , should get you close , the drop problem is most likely user error (sorry)

pull a bullet and weigh it and chrono a round or two , feeling powerful or pokey is generally considered the LEAST reliable method of data collection in ballistic terms !

the ammo is unlikely to be benchrest quality but should serve you fine depending on your expectations?

try a magnet on the bullets , weichkern means soft core but all mine were steel jacket .

In the absence of data i just threw ammo down range until the ERT fell over :lol: Cost a fair bit of money but it was fun doing it clapclap

On the plus side the BDC reticle in my ACOG on my Steyr AUG was spot on out to 600mm (Spot on as in hitting a man-sized ERT anyway)

Data for ammo here.

You have a 7.62 Aug? Bet that kicks like the 7.62 EM-2
