[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2435262, member: 87243"] Drop isn't the issue, if that was the only consideration we all would be shooting light bullets really fast. Over 20" more wind drift at his top end range with one bullet over another is not negligible and should be considered, also one bullet not making the minimum velocity needed for proper expansion according to the manufacturer, and the other barely making the minimum, is another consideration. These things must be looked at prior to choosing a bullet. If your only shooting 500-600 yards, then it's not as important, and many bullets would be adequate and not much different ballistically, but only terminally. Over that it starts to matter more and more. [/QUOTE]
