rimfire ballistics co-efficients

[JLA]

I stumbled accross this info while making .22LR range cards. I trust most will find the info useful...

All of the information was gleaned from my copy of the book, AMMO & BALLISTICS II, by Bob Forker.

NOTE: The table below lists the AMMO MAKER, the specific round, factory stock number (in parentheses), type of bullet used, muzzle velocity (MV-fps.), muzzle energy (ME-ft./lbs.) and ballistic coefficient (BC). Also note that even the pistol ammo listed herein was still ballistically tested in a 24-inch barrel for the numbers generated.
