The document provides ballistic coefficient data for various bullets across different calibers, bullet weights, types and velocities.

Information is given for each bullet including caliber, weight, type, ballistic coefficient values and the velocity ranges they apply to.

A bullet's weight, type, diameter and shape all impact its ballistic coefficient. Heavier and longer bullets with a pointed nose tend to have higher values.
