[QUOTE="Curly, post: 65428, member: 4008"] I hope you can help with this question...hypothetical...I have a 30 cal rifle and (cartridge does not matter-say something in the case size of 300 win mag)wanted to know if for the same case capacity which would give better downrange stats. Say 168 grain or a 190 grain? Now we have the same case the same gun and the same shooter.... will one combo give better energy,flat trajectory etc. The heavier bullet is the same config as the lighter so balistic coef should be better. Will the higher bal coef give the same results with the slower vel? or will the 168 give better results?At say 500 yards will they both have about the same energy remaining and will the drop be about equal ? When dealing with larger case cap which would you go with for the distance mentioned....and why? [/QUOTE]
