Some personal experience comments about the Fiocchi 150 grain ammo

I had a chance to shoot some (15 rounds) through my 9" AAC this past weekend while using my chronograph. Velocity at 10 feet was 1,740fps. In order to build my trajectory table I requested the ballistic coefficient for the rounds from Fiocchi Customer Service and had an answer in a business day. BC is .398 as indicated in the email reply copied and pasted below.

No issues with the ammo, all 15 feed well and locked the bolt back. 5 strings of three. I am happy with the accuracy, but this was not shot for that so I have no measurements. Next time.

For what it is worth. With a zero at 28 yards and sight height at 2.71 inches, Point Blank Range is 173 yards where it is still traveling 1,478 fps at standard temp and pressure. Point Blank Range is defined by me as plus or minus 2.5 inches.

Fiocchi seems to have it customer service running smooth.

Mike,
BC for that bullet is .398.
