[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 140382, member: 8"] Well, as I understood the context, it was a military weapon system under discussion. You don't get as many stationary target shots in combat as with a hunting situation, or at least you do not pass up shots because you might only wound the target. So a cold bore shot would be more likely to connect with the faster bullet. Secondly, two bullets with comparable BCs but one at a faster speed will make it easier to navigate the wind and drops necessary to make a first round hit. I didnot see the show I am just reading what you wrote and know that the shorter time of travel is better for military style shooting if the choice of cartridges are equal in all other respects. You are the one who saw the show but you typed what you typed. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
