30-06 ballistics?

Question

Does anyone know where i can go to find a ballistics chart for a 30-06 round for 250, 500, 750, and 1000 yrds

if any one knows off hand of the muzzle velocity of a .270, 30-06 and .308 round could you please add that info with the rest of your answer? thankyou

Answer 1

The only way you'll get accurate information is to import it to your computer from your chronograph. You can get a list from a manufacturer, but it will apply only to that load in the particular rifle they used (often a test barrel on a universal reciever). "Just like theirs" doesn't count, especially at long ranges.

I get a chuckle out of tables that list something like "2910 fps" as muzzle velocities. That's only an average from one rifle, and your results may have an average that's 100 fps different with the exact same cartridge, and that's with "standard deviation" used as "average." SD's mean about a third of your shots are even going to be outside that range, which even with good handloads may be a 30+ fps shot-to-shot variation.

Answer 2

Any of the big three (Remington,Winchester, or Federal) should have that info on/at there web site.  Like here for Federal;  http://www.federalpremium.com/products/d...

You ask a large question with many variables.  The '06 can be loaded with light bullets (110grs) to heavy (220grs) with a host of different bullets each with it's own ballistic coefficient.  Any change changes the bullets flight.  Heavier bullets are usually slower at muzzle than lighter bullets.

oh

Answer 4

I usually look at the websites for Winchester and Remington (since that's whose ammo I usually use). There are a lot of choices for each of these calibers, and you can use the websites to compare them.

Answer 5

All the big ammo companies have those on their websites for comparison and printout.

On Remington you can print out a comparison of the 270, 30-06 and 308  with selected bullet weights.

Answer 6

270 in 130 grain= 3,060 at the muzzle.>> 308 in 150 grain= 2,820 at the muzzle>> 30-06= in 125 grain = 3,140 at the muzzle..*
