[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 667310, member: 29966"] Ditto Angus' remarks. As a side remark to what you said, the numbers in a ballistics calculator are only as good as the equations themselves and the variable inputs. I haven't played with a lot of ballistics calculators, but when comparing 3 or 4 different calculators I often come up with different values (often within .2 MOA but different nonetheless) which tells me that each calculator is probably using a different version of a general equation. I also agree, that at normal ranges (for me less than 600 yards) the lighter faster bullets seem to be easier for me to make hits with, but as I extend the range past 600 the heavies seem to make it easier for me. I have not done enough real shooting beyond 600 though to have enough data to support what I feel but I do feel the heavy bullets make the longer shots easier. [/QUOTE]
