anybody know's the B.C. of the Saeco 301 bullet?

The link to the calculator on my website is not really set up to calculate the BC of a Truncated Nose bullet. However the Cast Bullet BC software (http://www.uslink.net/~tom1/cast_bc.htm)does a respectable job of estimating the truncated cones. Be aware that the true BC for a particular bullet-firearm combination is best determined by test firing and recording either velocities or bullet drops at different ranges and then using a good Ballistics Calculator (http://www.uslink.net/~tom1/enter.htm), tweak the BC until the calculated trajectory matches either the recorded velocitiy loss or bullet drop values.
Hope this helps.

P.S. I did not have an actual Saeco bullet to measure so I scaled out the image of the bullet on thier website. The dimensions may be off slightly but should return a reasonable esitmate of the BC
