[QUOTE="brant89, post: 1293765, member: 49553"] I'm aware that I could run the 73gr ELD in my rifle and it would stabilize, and I'm also aware that the 53gr VMAX has a slightly higher BC than the 55gr VMAX. My question was more along the lines of what everyone thought would be of greater benefit strictly from a learning standpoint. Since I will soon have access to a 400yd range on a daily basis, if I intentionally chose a bullet with a lower BC it would help to improve my skills at judging the wind because it will be affected by wind twice as much so I will have to be twice as good at judging it to keep them on target, but it may also limit my range on groundhogs. Although I could always use the 260AI to poke groundhogs at extended ranges. So it really boils down to is it logical to intentionally handicap my rifle for the sake of learning, or will the lower BC not really improve my ability to judge the wind more accurately. [/QUOTE]
