Ballistic coefficients

.30-30 Winchester ballistic coefficient chart

G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients for 37 .30-30 Winchester factory loads from 55 to 170 grains, with the manufacturer's muzzle velocity and, where published, bullet length.

Manufacturer-published figures from the Ballistic Buddy bullet library, lightest bullet first. A dash means the manufacturer doesn't publish that figure.

Using these numbers

A ballistic coefficient describes how well a bullet keeps its speed against air resistance, compared with a standard reference projectile. G7 figures suit long, boat-tailed match and hunting bullets and stay more consistent across velocities; G1 figures are larger numbers for the same bullet and are what most manufacturers have published historically. Use whichever your calculator asks for, but never mix a G1 number with the G7 drag model.

Every load here is in the ballistic calculator's bullet library — search for it to build a range card in one step, then true the velocity against your own chronograph.
