[kiddynomite]

Has anyone done a .45 caliber trajectory chart of any kind with the H4198 powder and Barnes 195 bullet? How about anyone useing a mil-dot scope for differant ranges? Any info would help. Thanks Kid...

my set up last year....savage pacnor 28".45 cal
15/55 duplex n110/ n130 @3000fps
200 sst/light blue harv

I did a trajectory chart with Sierra Ballistic Explorer. I hope it will transfer here. You should be able to get 2600-2700 fps with 58-60 gr H-4198.
Trajectory for Custom .40 Barnes Red Hot 195 at 2700 Feet per Second
At an Elevation Angle of: 0 degrees
Ballistic Coefficients of: 0.176 0.176 0.176 0.176 0.176
Velocity Boundaries (Feet per Second) of: 2500 2500 2500 2500
Wind Direction is: 3.0 o'clock and a Wind Velocity of: 10.0 Miles per hour
Wind Components are (Miles per Hour): DownRange: 0.0 Cross Range: 10.0 Vertical: 0.0
The Firing Point speed of sound is: 1114.48 fps
The bullet does not drop below the speed within the max range specified.
Altitude: 1500 Feet with a Standard Atmospheric Model.
Temperature: 59 F

Not to hijack the thread, it's sorta related.

Is there a place where the real world bc of the commonly used .45 cal bullets are listed?

Once that data is known, and you shoot over a chronograph, it's easy to get a ballistic chart for your gun. Then all you need to do is verify it.

Yeah, I just took the BC shown on the Barnes www.

Only problem with that is: The Mfg.'s tend to inflate their numbers

So you fudge a little bit on the bc,TrbO did that when he was getting a ballistic turret made for his scope,but he ALSO went out and shot at different ranges to get real world data.

Thanks everyone I will put this info to work. Kid...
