[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 65430, member: 10"] Curly, Welcome to the LRH!!! For the ranges you are talking about, 500 yards or so. The lighter bullets, at least the VLD or ULD designed bullets will generally shoot flatter then the heavier slower pills to these ranges. The heavier bullets will generally have an energy advantage over most of the bullets trajectory. One issue to remember is wind drift. Bullet drop is relatively easy to predict, especially at these ranges. What can cause great problems is wind drift. The heavier bullet with the higher B.C. will generally produce the least amount of wind drift. To be honest, the most important factor would be to shoot both bullets and see which your rifle prefers as far as accuracy. The other aspects of the bullets will basically be a wash at 500 yards. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
