[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 36470, member: 313"] And one other thing - The 180gr bullet could easily be fired at greater speed with the pressure remaining the same as the heavier bullet at a lower velocity. Higher BC AND a higher muzzle velocity is a home run in windy conditions. Given similar bullet shapes, a heavier bullet normally also has a higher BC but can be driven at a lower velocity. Thats the trade off. [ 10-16-2004: Message edited by: Varmint Hunter ] [/QUOTE]
