[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 357062, member: 319"] Good stuff. I'll also add another perspective into the mix people don't think about much (but should). Higher BC bullets are less sensitive to changes in weather. Much like wind drift, for any given temp or pressure change, the error will be less with the higher BC bullet. Or looked at another way, the higher BC the bullet you use and the faster you shoot it the farther you can go with simple drop charts before needing to worry about weather changes. If using a PDA for every shot it's not that big a deal, but understanding when you actually [I]need[/I] to use a PDA and when you don't is something people should know. That distance being farther increases the odds when speed is needed in the field. [/QUOTE]
