[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 926590, member: 28191"] Wind and retained energy can both be tricky out at 800 yards. The .338 Lapua gives more margin for error than most cartridges out there. A lot of lower BC bullets don't retain enough velocity to expand at 800 yards. The high BC of the .338 retains velocity better to aid expansion, still does ok if it tumbles rather than expanding, and resists wind better than most to hit the vitals. [/QUOTE]
