[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1102412, member: 74902"] A ballistic calculator is one way to fine an answer. I ran those numbers and it looks like the .243 would have 1/100th second longer flight time and 1 inch more wind drift. So the .243 is a little more susceptible to wind drift. And since wind is a constantly changing parameter, the .243 would be slightly more difficult to keep the groups tight. Theoretically anyway. Biggest factor here would be the inherent accuracy of the rifle and shooter. [/QUOTE]
