[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 655504, member: 5302"] Here's an example of the opposite happening as calculated by Berger Bullets' software: Sierra 200-gr. HPMK, BC=.560, leaving at 2000 fps, 10 mph crosswind, at 1000 yards drift = 119 inches Sierra 155-gr. HPMK, BC=.470, leaving at 3000 fps, 10 mph crosswind, at 1000 yards drift = 91 inches Lower BC bullet leaving faster drifts less with a given wind than the higher BC bullet leaving slower. [/QUOTE]
