[QUOTE="Broz, post: 794507, member: 7503"] If you want less drift at distance from the wind go with a heavier higher BC bullet. A lighter bullet with a lower BC starts out with a higher muzzle velocity, but at some point the heavier , higher BC bullet will catch and pass the lighter one. This is due to the fact lighter bullets loose velocity faster and heavier bullets retain velocity longer. Thus the reason we shoot heavy high BC bullets for long range. Also because the heavier , higher BC bullet will have less wind drift. If it were me I would load a 215 Berger Hybrid and wait for the sucker to stop and bust him. Jeff [/QUOTE]
