Federal American Eagle .308 Win 150gr Ammo Ballistics
Brass Case • FMJBT
Solved from this product's advertised 2820 fps, 150gr bullet and G1 BC 0.408, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .308/7.62x51mm, or read .308 Winchester: 100-Yard vs 200-Yard Zero.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.
