208eldM ballistic coefficient???

[Longshotjames]

I have 2 boxes of .308 Hornady 208eldM. One box shows G1 @ .670 the other shows G1 @ .690

Hornady website shows G1 .690

Has Anyone shot these to validate which model is correct or was there a change between boxes making them both correct?

.67 is better throughout a long range flight as a long term average. .69 is real but only for a few hundred yards. The old box listed the average. New boxes list the closer. You can read about it here: https://www.hornady.com/support/ballistic-coefficient

Hornady don't fudge their BCs like other brands. I used these numbers and shot 1/4moa at a mile.
