Sir

If your ammo is newer than 1990 its most likely. the new 175gr Sierra Match King bullet that now resides in the current M118 and M118LR.

Ray has done a great article on this ammo.... Here is a link to German's Blog site.

If its the 175gr SMK the BC is
.505 @ 2800 fps and above
.496 between 2800 and 1800 fps
.485 @ 1800 fps and below

If its the old Special ball ammo..... Well I havnt found that yet.
Hope this helps.
