[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 812466, member: 13632"] I understand, but I used those examples because I know what they do and though you would get the underlying current despite using specific examples. You really have to look at BC the big 300gr has a .419 G7 BC and the 180 has a .337 G7 BC, you can push the smaller bullet hard enough to kinda stay with or even for the short run surpass the bigger one but velocity fades fast and it take a lot of it to make up for short BC but in the end the BC wins plus when it lands it has the weight and momentum that give it terminal performance past the smaller one. Thee only area the smaller bullet wins sometimes is in elevation but elevation is the easiest variable to account but wind will kick your BUTT but this is where BC trumps velocity and gains you some wiggle room on your windage. The little bullet can also win if you compare a 180 Berger to a big Partition or ballistic brick as it's known, but compare the best of the best will give you relevant info. There is a point and range you can kinda get the results your looking for BUT you have to run the smaller bullets at the edge of insanity and you will usually end up having to run an even poorer ballistic choice because the good bullets won't hack the speed. Bryan Litz's book Applied Ballistics, get it :D [/QUOTE]
