If you want to take your 308 out to 1400 yards or basically duplicate 6.5mm ballistics, check these out. Buyer beware, they ain't cheep.

it might make it that far but i bet it wont go through both sides of a coke can.
If you guys are shooting deer or bad guys or steel at say real distances like 300 yards or maybe 500 yards.
Use that calculator and your current velocity with your current favorite accurate bullet.
Then look at the drop at those real distances.
Then take the above very high BC bullet and plug it in .. you may be surprised at 300 yards not much different that what you have now.
Then take the heavier pill allow for velocity drop of it and plug in the numbers.
At 300 yards I have 3" less drop with my 155gr .475bc bullet than the above 706bc 180 gr.. it would not be justifiable for the distances I shoot to use a higher BC slower bullet.
I got all caught up in the higher BC of the Tipped match kings.. the 168gr accuracy node in my .308 would have it dropping much more than my 155gr A-Max at killing distances.
Lesson learned.. OH and a couple tests performed with the 168A-Max vs the 168 Tipped match king ,,, the tipped match king penetrated deeper.
The 168A-max is an excellent animal killing bullet. At least the steer and deer I killed thought so. Bang! shudder and fall over.
Math is nice especially if you use it.
