[QUOTE="Broz, post: 668512, member: 7503"] Yes SD is part of the equation, but do we not know for a fact that the heavier bullet will retain velocity longer and become the faster of the two? It is a fact that the lighter bullets loose velocity faster, correct? Comparing lighter and heavier like a 210 with a BC of .631 fired at a MV of 2900 compared to a 230 with a BC of .711 fired at 2775 MV from the same rifle. By 1000 yards the 230 becomes the faster bullet and also offers over 125 LBS more energy. Testing these side by side shows the 230 to have a substantial amount less wind drift too in actual field testing. So are we saying that BC is the only difference that matters? Like I said before, I have yet to see a lighter bullet win this test in my field testing for what ever reason. Even when the BC are not as far spread as the above test. Jeff [/QUOTE]
