[QUOTE="Iamnotagolem, post: 2371106, member: 75909"] I just picked up a Tikka T3X Lite Compact (20" barrel) in 6.5 CM for my 12 year old. Since reloading components are fewer and further between these days, I thought I'd ask the question here instead of throwing time/money at it first. Does anyone have experience comparing the wind bucking abilities of a faster 130gr bullet, like the 130gr ELD-M compared to the higher BC, but slower, 140gr ELD-M? Or a 129gr ABLR vs 142gr ABLR? If I had all of the components at hand, I could load all options and plug them into a ballistic calculator and the answer would be staring me in the face. I know there are a lot of unknows, like the velocity node of each bullet to give me optimal accuracy in specific rifle, but I was hoping to get some generalities based on past experiences you guys have had. Maybe the biggest key piece of information is that shots will be limited to 600 yards due to reasonable access to a range with those kinds of practice distances. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
