For those that might be interested, I contacted Hornady and asked them for the BC of their 205-grain .329" bullet - the one I've been loading in the M-95 Steyr. They responded that they "haven't shot it yet", but they calculate it at 0.376. I appreciate their honesty.

I imagine that it's close to the .323 200gr. Did they happen to say anything about the brass? It would be nice if they would make a 175gr or something like that too but there probably isn't enough demand.

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this HB. By now you know the answers to both your quesitons. However, I thought I'd bring this back to the top of the site because we've located brass, and found bullets at 150 and 175 in .329". When I find out who makes these 150 and 175 grain bullets, I'll hit them up for BCs.

It looks like Buffalo Arms either makes the bullets themselves(unlikely) or has them made specially for them(probably). In either case I think that they're the ones to get the info from on the 175s.
