[QUOTE="Good, post: 624018, member: 18866"] Drop matters not. Wind drift is what matters. The bullet that is less affected by the wind will have the highest hit percentage probability. That is BC- the higher the BC (preferably on the G7 model, but G1 works too), the less wind drift. That's all that matters if you dial for elevation. That said, if you limit your shots at a certain distance, a lighter bullet may be a better choice as the benefits of the heavier (higher BC) bullet may only take over at longer distances. The best way to compare is to compare bullets at real world speeds on a ballistic calculator like JBM Ballistics, at the chosen distance. [/QUOTE]
