[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 234390, member: 12660"] This gets complicated (not really...but sorta) To answer that question accurately I'd need to know the ballistic coefficient of the bullet and its muzzle velocity. I could probably get close by quesstimating the muzzle velocity...but the ballistic coefficient has to be correct to even get in the ball park. Edited to add: If I were shooting a 300 magnum (of any flavor)...I'd be shooting much heavier bullets than 150 grains. The 190 to 240 grain bullets will fly WAAAAY better in the wind than any 150 ever made...the heavy (longer) bullets have a higher ballistic coefficient. [/QUOTE]
