[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 667333, member: 30902"] I'm going to have to disagree with you as well on this point. The heavier an object is, the more force it takes to cause a deviation in it's flight path. Thus when you compare two bullets of any given caliber of the same design traveling at similar velocities, the drift of the heavier bullet is going to be less with the same wind velocity and range. What little tinkering I've done also shows that with different calibers comparing bullets of the same design shows the same thing unless you are running the heavier bullet at a much, much slower velocity which then allows for dramatically increased flight time which then allows the same wind to act on it for a much longer period of time than the faster smaller bullet.
