I would just search the hornady and Sierra web sites and that will give you a close number.

I have some bullets to test that were made by a member here swaged from .22LR brass.
I'm going to shoot them over a variety of distances and calculate the BC back.

Similar shape are they blade? BTW is he doing 30cals for you?

I emailed the owner and unfortunately he wasn't able to give me an exact BC. I've been looking at the sierras and hornadys (flat bases) which look similar; I'm guessing .34 to .35? Seems a pretty good quality bullet for 43c a pop; proof will be in the pudding

The shape is virtually identical to the photo, but they're .224" bullets swaged into CCI brass.
I don't want to put him forward but I'll let him know about the thread and he can chime in if he wishes.
I was hoping to start loading some tonight but I've been getting distracted and will be doing well just sizing and priming a pile of brass.
