[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 132921, member: 1007"] [ QUOTE ] What is more important for long range shooting, B.C. or bullet weight, and why ? [/ QUOTE ] It depends on what youre trying to accomplish. If you need to kill an elk at 1300 yards, you will need the heaviest of 338 bullets with a high BC.
