[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 130682, member: 319"] To clarify, TOF is only one factor. BC is a bigger factor. A higher BC bullet can have less drift even with a longer time of flight. The wind has less effect on the high BC bullet over the time it's flying. In sort of the same way the air has less effect on it longitudinally (it doesn't slow the bullet down as fast--the high BC bullet keeps its velocity better over the same TOF as well). The "senior member on another forum" is incorrect. [/QUOTE]
