[QUOTE="groper, post: 474529, member: 12550"] I know this, this is what the balistics calculators are telling us... but they are only automating the equations... The equations maybe missing some input that causes errors in the windage, maybe they do not... I was simply looking for an explanation as to why LTLR found that when he shot 2 bullets of the same BC, but different calibers and weights, at the same time "side by side" at the range in the same wind, he found very different windage results on the target... i have never done this experiment myself, and have no idea how well he controlled the experiment... i simply said i would not be surprised if what he found was true and offered a theory as to why... i doubt there would be much in it, otherwise the ballistics calculators would make some adjustment based on caliber and weight aswell as BC... it is likely that the effect/difference is so small, that the equations and calculators ignore it just for simplicities sake...
