[QUOTE="Gerard Schultz, post: 958163, member: 51"] When a bullet has a good BC and less weight it will have a shorter time of flight and can easily equal the wind drift resistance of a heavier bullet. When a lighter bullet does that, it will shoot a flatter trajectory. So, it gives the same wind drift but shoots a flatter trajectory with a shorter time of flight. If the animal moves at the same time as when the trigger is pulled, the point of impact is closer to the aiming point because the time of flight is shorter. Flatter trajectory means that the rifle becomes more versatile or that a turret can be used with less elevation. What is not to like? One must make a head shift, for sure, but speed brings only good things here. [/QUOTE]
