[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 668522, member: 7999"] That would be because the bullets that you guys are comparing the heavier one has the higher bc. So the slower, heavier, higher bc bullet will always catch the lighter, faster, lesser bc bullet at some point down range for drop and drift. Same bc bullets of differing weights, the heavier one will never catch the lighter one because of the velocity difference. My earlier example was of the extreme. We are actually talking about much more subtle differences. The point is that weight is calculated into bc. More weight adds to the bc. But just because a bullet is heavier it does not automatically have a better bc. That is why the .338 is out running the .50 for drop and drift to any distance. Steve [/QUOTE]
