[QUOTE="groper, post: 417128, member: 12550"] No, you are getting 2 different things confused here... for example, by your argument, if you launch a bullet slower then you will have less drift...see? what happens when you launch the same bullet, same bc, same distance but at a much lower velocity so the TOF is longer? do you get more or less drift? explain that... ok so explain why when i shoot in 10MPH 3oclock wind @ 100yds i might need say 0.1MOA wind, and in the same wind 10MPH, 3oclock conditions @ 1000yds now i need 6MOA... thats 60 times (the MOA) adjustment. And thankyou eaglet for showing me what lag time he was referring to... i notice in the explanation of it, 2 things that effect it are muzzle velocity and BC. Therefore its worth noting that a lighter bullet can have a much higher BC than a heavier bullet, and therefore a lighter bullet can have less wind drift than heavier bullet.... therefore bullet mass is not worth discussing any further.
