I plugged the BC I estimated for the new match bullet into an online ballistics program. I chose a MV of 2400 fps becasue I am confident I can get this velocity out of my 1:8 .308. The results are a little bunched up, but what is interesting is that the bullet remains supersonic (1150 fps rather than the programs estimate of 1116.5) to just shy of 1600 yards.
Here are the results -
