[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 111421, member: 4"] I have a customer that I set up a pair of balistic twins for. 1 is a 338 Lapua shooting 225 gr Accubonds @ 3000 fps, the other is a 6.5-284 shooting the Hornady 140 Amax @ 3000 fps. These two bullets fired both at 3000 fps also have identical BC. He has thus far shot out to 1148 yards using the same drop chart. All other things being equill BC and velocity will predict drop. Weight, form functions, diameter, etc directly bear on BC but singulary may not mean much as the case above a 225 grain bullet @ 3000 fps does not always shoot flatter than a 140 gr. While heavier slower bullets that have high BC's drop more than a lighter flatter faster shooting bullet alot of times, the higher BC bullet almost always has way less wind drift and to me that is the name of the game.
